[visionegg] mirror displays and screen size

hi - This is really more of a pygame question than a visionegg question but I thought I'd ask here since others may have dealt with this issue. I'm trying to use mirrored displays and create a fullscreen window; this is on a powerbook g4 aluminum, hooking it to my plasma TV as the second monitor for testing. I first determine the maximum screen size:

m=max(pygame.display.list_modes())

I then create a new screen using this size:

screen=Screen (size=m,fullscreen=False,red_bits=8,green_bits=8,blue_bits=8,alpha_bits= 8)

this works just fine with a single monitor. The problem is that, when I attach to a second monitor, the screen size that pygame determines is based on the maximum potential size of the external monitor (1900X1200) rather than the resolution of the mirrored screens (in this case 1024X768).

Any ideas on how to determine the actual resolution?
cheers,
russ
