Subject: [NS] 23.1.50; display-pixel-height / display-pixel-width don't work in .emacs
Date: Sat, 28 Nov 2009 15:30:29 -0800

I have a function which sets up the Emacs frame how I like it. This
involves centering the frame within the screen; since I run Emacs on
multiple systems, I calculate it based on the current screen
dimensions.

However, calling both display-pixel-height and display-pixel-width
return zero when called from my .emacs file. I added some debug messages
to emacs-startup-hook and window-setup-hook, and they return zero there
as well.

After Emacs has started, they return the correct values.

This is irritating, since I must manually call my function after Emacs
starts up.

Here’s a simple testcase:

(defun report-display-size ()
  (message "Screen dimensions are %dx%d"
    (display-pixel-width) (display-pixel-height)))

(add-hook 'window-setup-hook 'report-display-size)

 -> "Screen dimensions are 0x0"

M-: (report-display-size) RET

 -> "Screen dimensions are 1440x900"

I'm unable to reproduce this in Emacs 24.  Has this bug gone away in
recent Emacs versions?

More information was requested, but no response was given within a few
months, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the problem still exists,
please reopen this bug report.
