MythTV is now reading the screen's size from the X server, which you  
can set in the XF86Config-4 file (using the DisplaySize directive).   
Unfortunately, it's not possible to get this info per-screen when using  
Xinerama.  The specs say that the dimensions returned are supposed to  
be those of the first screen, but it sounds like your driver's Xinerama  
support is returning the size of both screens together.  Try setting  
the DisplaySize to various values.  Or try running with 2 heads in a  
non-Xinerama setup.
