No luck with -display and any IP address I can think of - my address
from the net, my local address.

However, there is xdpyinfo -queryExtensions and in that data I see this:

mark@gandalf ~ $ xdpyinfo -queryExtensions
name of display:    localhost:10.0
version number:    11.0
vendor string:    The X.Org Foundation
vendor release number:    10503000
X.Org version: 1.5.3
maximum request size:  16777212 bytes
motion buffer size:  256
<SNIP>

screen #0:
  print screen:    no
  dimensions:    1280x1024 pixels (338x270 millimeters)
  resolution:    96x96 dots per inch
  depths (7):    16, 1, 4, 8, 15, 24, 32
  root window id:    0x80
  depth of root window:    16 planes
  number of colormaps:    minimum 1, maximum 1


So on my dad's machine, which I know I set up as 1280x1024, I get the
right answer.

On my mom's machine however, which I have to

mark@DesertFlower ~ $ xdpyinfo -queryExtensions
name of display:    localhost:10.0
version number:    11.0
vendor string:    The X.Org Foundation
vendor release number:    10503000
X.Org version: 1.5.3
maximum request size:  16777212 bytes
<SNIP>
screen #0:
  print screen:    no
  dimensions:    1280x1024 pixels (338x270 millimeters)
  resolution:    96x96 dots per inch
  depths (7):    16, 1, 4, 8, 15, 24, 32
  root window id:    0x80
  depth of root window:    16 planes


and locally on my machine here I get the same info:

screen #0:
  print screen:    no
  dimensions:    1280x1024 pixels (338x270 millimeters)
  resolution:    96x96 dots per inch
  depths (7):    16, 1, 4, 8, 15, 24, 32
  root window id:    0x80
  depth of root window:    16 planes

so I'm not sure if I'm looking at their machines or just my own?

Actually, on my mom's machine it seems it's not really screen #0, it's
screen #1 according to the config file, but maybe Xorg actually calls
it screen #0 when it's tunning. None the less her default resolution
is supposed to be 1024x768 - she has an old small monitor:
