Providing physical size via RRRegisterSize() is not enough - physical size is a property of the output, not resolution and needs to be set separately. Furhermore, get the physical output size using RandR if -output is used, to match specific output, not the whole screen. With this, `Xephyr -output OUTPUT_NAME` properly copies not only resolution but also physical size of the named output.
