I'm having some trouble getting such an app compiled.  I'm using MinGW
5.1.3 on Windows XP.  Here's what's happening:

>type x.c
#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
        DEVMODE dm;
        dm.dmSize = sizeof(dm);
        EnumDisplaySettingsEx(NULL, ENUM_CURRENT_SETTINGS, &dm, 0);
        return 0;
}

>gcc -c x.c

>gcc -lgdi32 -luser32 -o x x.o -mwindows
x.o:x.c:(.text+0x5e): undefined reference to `EnumDisplaySettingsExA'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


I'm not very familiar with building applications that use the Windows
API with MinGW so it's very likely that I made a silly mistake.
Suggestions on how to fix this would be appreciated.
