    This is an on-the-fly mod of a subroutine I keep around for getting
    info about sun screens:

...
      *type = fb.fb_type;
      *width = fb.fb_width;
      *height = fb.fb_height;
      *depth = fb.fb_depth;
      *cmsize = fb.fb_cmsize;		/* colormap size */
      *size = fb.fb_size;			/* ?? */
...
--------

Unfortunately, width and height here refer to the number of *pixels*, not the
physical dimensions in linear inches.
