This piece of code:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <linux/fb.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  struct fb_var_screeninfo vinfo;
  int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR);
  if (fd < 0)
    return 1;
  if (!ioctl(fd, FBIOGET_VSCREENINFO, &vinfo)) {
    printf("xres: %d yres: %d width: %d height: %d\n", vinfo. xres,
           vinfo.yres, vinfo.width, vinfo.height);
  }
  return 0;
}

run with /dev/fb0

4.13.3 and below: width = 4294967295, height = 4294967295
4.14: width = 0, height = 0;

well, correct would be something like
width = 50, height = 80
(screen sizes in mm)

I used them for things like clipping maximum width+ height of picture,
were I correctly have to use xres and yres instead. I just had not tried
it with oversized pictures, so I did not notice my mistake.

Regards,
Andreas
