Does X11 report it somewhere?At least there's "xrandr" terminal command. The first entry which says "connected" rather than "disconnected" should give out the maximum dimensions. But this has to be tested with two screens. Also the "library" version might be preferred, not another thing to have to "SHELLHIDE" to. In fact enter "man 3 xrandr" on the terminal.
I dunno! I'm not a Linux programmer. I'm not familiar with the Linux system. I may know what the issue is -- just like you do now as well -- but that doesn't mean I'm any more capable of fixing it than you are.
I almost forgot to mention there's this new craze called "Wayland" going around to replace "X11" which would of course have a different way of reporting its state.
Here's the output on my laptop from Manjaro MATE:
