ps only level one works so far.
Assuming Direct3D 9 (you don't say which API you're using...):
After you call Direct3DCreate9(), but before you call IDirect3D9::CreateDevice(), simply call IDirect3D9::GetAdapterDisplayMode(). This will get you the dimensions and pixel format that the display is currently.
You can also query this using GDI calls alone. Take a look at EnumDisplaySettings() with the ENUM_CURRENT_SETTINGS flag.
