I'm searching for a command line utility of some fashion to let me get 
the Xwindows screen resolution from a remote system.  What I'd like is 
very simply a command, utility, log entry that I can reliably tell that 
"System X, over there on the network, is running an Xwindows session at 
1920x1080."

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can accomplish this?  So far xrandr 
doesn't seem to let me do it.  There's lots of "Setting mode" entries in 
/var/log/Xorg.0.log but no easy way to tell if that's the actual 
resolution currently running.
