They can use xrandr to get the screen size connected to the output, I'm not sure what else they want. The old DPI reporting was always broken for multimonitor, so was deprecated in favour of reporting the sizes and letting the DE do whatever it wants, the old API was also fixed in time as 96, you can override it on the X.org command line if you want, but really to support multi-head properly, use the new API.
