Title: Highest possible frequency for fullscreen
Post by: mot on July 31, 2006, 13:40:28

Is it possible to get the highest possible frequency for a fullscreen graphics mode using LWJGL? I know I can get a list of all graphics modes with frequencies etc. but on my PC the list includes very high frequencies that my monitor can't really handle.

I can use 60hz as a fallback of course, but that flickers quite a lot. Would it be possible, for instance, to retrieve the frequency of the "desktop" graphics mode and find a mode with a frequency closest to that?

You can get the current display mode:

Code Select


DisplayMode currentDM = Display.getDisplayMode();

if you want to check the frequency:

Code Select

currentDM.getFrequency()

Thanks, that's great. For some reason I had the impression that I could use the Display functions only after opening my own window.
