Oops. Just posted and I had guessed TwinView. Guess I should have kept

There was a discussion on the archives (involving Daniel (DTK)) about
this issue. I don't remember the resolution (or if they even came to
one), but I think they were talking about a way to specify which monitor
in a Xinerama/TwinView to use for getting screen dimensions.

3520*0.254 = 894 (that's what your post showed, not 407)
1200*0.254 = 305
You've specified a DisplaySize according to Myth's
how-to-get-100dpi-for-good-themes-rules (which is probably not
appropriate anywhere except a dedicated myth frontend).

? Search the archives for the discussion I mentioned above. Try
xinerama, twinview, aspect ratio, etc.
