Well, it's the dummy driver, so there are no real monitors.

 From a quick skim of your randrproto patch, it sounds like a client 
should be able to call RRSetMonitor with an empty crtc list to construct 
its own monitor rectangles.  That sounds like the right approach here.

Will -dummy need any additional code to handle that?  I would assume 
that that would be handled entirely in the DIX RandR layer and -dummy 
wouldn't need to be involved, so the current patch set should be pretty 
much complete.
