The Xlib document says, among other things,

	WidthOfScreen(screen)
	
	int XWidthOfScreen(screen)
	      Screen *screen;
	
	Both return the width of the specified screen in pixels.
	
	HeightOfScreen(screen)
	
	int XHeightOfScreen(screen)
	      Screen *screen;
	
	Both return the height of the specified screen in pixels.
	
	WidthMMOfScreen(screen)
	
	int XWidthMMOfScreen(screen)
	      Screen *screen;
	
	Both return the width of the specified screen in millimeters.
	
	HeightMMOfScreen(screen)
	
	int XHeightMMOfScreen(screen)
	      Screen *screen;
	
	Both return the height of the specified screen in millimeters.
