int gobot( int * horizontal, int* vertical, &dm )

   {
      //SDL_GetDesktopDisplayMode(0, &dm);
       *horizontal = dm->w;
       *vertical = dm->h;
      return 0;
   }

Should be:

int gobot( int * horizontal, int* vertical, *SDL_DisplayMode* dm* )
  {
      //SDL_GetDesktopDisplayMode(0, &dm);
       *horizontal = dm->w;
       *vertical = dm->h;
      return 0;
   }

That third argument is incorrect on that first version. The definition
arguments need to match the declaration arguments. That third argument is a
pointer to a structure. The only time you pass &dm is when you actually
call the function. Not during declaration and definition.
