Well, you could narrow it down by looking at Xinerama information and
seeing if it's reported correctly.
If you have Python with Gtk+ bindings installed, you could try this
little script:
#!/usr/bin/python
import gtk.gdk
if __name__ == '__main__':
screen = gtk.gdk.screen_get_default()
n = screen.get_n_monitors()
for i in range(n):
rect = screen.get_monitor_geometry(i)
print "Monitor %d: %dx%d at (%d, %d)" % (i, rect.width, rect.height,
rect.x, rect.y)
