xdpyinfo is giving me bogus details about the size of my screen right
now, even though radeon driver detects everything correctly (according
to X log), ddcprobe detects everything correctly and xrandr detects
everything correctly. xdpyinfo is the only one getting it wrong -- I'd
be careful of that, too! (There is a bug open for this.)
