(Get the code!)
Some data points from my own experimentation with hardware at hand:
Did NOT detect monitor on an Intel x86_64 box with nVidia Quadro NVS 285 card that has a VGA "splitter cord" that makes the card dual-head capable. It was tricky getting xinerama working on this card so I'm not surprised it had issues here.
DID detect a Sony LCD monitor on a Dell XPS x86 system with a Radeon R350. It was connected to the R350's VGA port. Did NOT detect another similar Sony LCD monitor connected to the Radeon's DVI port. I used a DVI-to-VGA adapter since the second monitor is VGA. I don't know if it's DVI or the adapter, or if xresprobe only detects a single monitor.
