After the pfInit, you can do the following:

#include <X11/X.h>
#include <X11/Xlib.h>

   Display *display;
   int screen;
   int width;
   int height;

   display = pfGetCurWSConnection();
   screen = DefaultScreen(display);
   width = DisplayWidth(display, screen);
   height = DisplayHeight(display, screen);

This assumes that you have one pipe. Each pipe will be a different screen.
