Screen.Width / .Height refers to "main monitor window" instead of Rift display(s)

Is there a way to get Screen. to refer to the Rift display instead of the main monitor display?  I do some UI work based on resolution of the monitor, and I need to know what's going on in the Rift to set it correctly.

I don't see any way of getting the resolution of the Rift screen from the current framework.

Also- it seems that input.mousePosition is based on the same Screen, meaning the main monitor.  Any way there to use the Rift screen as the basis for "Screen"?

Thanks

    As you pointed out, Screen.width and Screen.height always refer to the main monitor window, not the VR eye buffers. Those aren't exposed through Unity yet, but you can get them with the Oculus Utilities (https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/game-engines/1.3.2/Oculus_Utilities_for_Unity_5/) using OVRManager.display.GetEyeRenderDesc(VRNode.LeftEye/RightEye).resolution (see https://developer.oculus.com/doc/1.3.2-unity/struct_o_v_r_display_1_1_eye_render_desc.html).
