The Microsoft documentation is misleading; GetMonitorFrequeny and
GetScanLine are not *functions* exposed by the directdraw library.
Instead they are methods exposed of the IDirectDraw COM object.

You cannot access this stuff with stock ctypes.  If you are able
to find a typelibary for directdraw then maybe you can do it with
comtypes.
