[XeTeX] wrong paper size (geometry and truedimen)

Thanks. I think the geometry package does not
treat the "pdftex" driver correctly.
I think XeTeX uses \pdfpageheight and \pdfpagewidth
as pdfTeX does. Processing the following source
by pdflatex, \pdfpagewidth and \paperwidth are
"incorrect" (not magnified). The same as the case of XeLaTeX:

%
% pdflatex
%
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,twoside,openright]{book}
\usepackage[pdftex,compat2,mag=1050,truedimen,paperheight=24.75cm,
paperwidth=17.5cm,margin=2cm,twosideshift=10pt,headsep=7pt,
headheight=14.5pt]{geometry}

\begin{document}

This is a sample text.
\message{\the\pdfpagewidth}
\message{\the\paperwidth}
\end{document}

Best,
Akira
