[CLUE-Tech] Screen Resolution

[Dave Hahn]

Hey David,

Went through this with my laptop and my new desktop.  The 
README/HOWTO/big-text-file for the nvidia driver contains some sample 
configs for this as well as using the built-in TwinView (multi-head) 
capability in the newer nVidia chipsets.  Using the nVidia "tweaks" is a 
bit of a pain during initial config but the performance and capability 
payoffs are well worth it.
