Thanks. I'll take a look at it.
At first glance looks like it creates a single virtual screen
running on two screens. That's what I have now with twinview.
I want independent screens running on each display.
But I'll give xrandr a shot. What can it do other than
screw up my X config. As if that hasn't happened before.
