Did you try xdpyinfo?

'man X'  gives you an intro to the available X commands.

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.
