umm ....
use one monitor... see what the maximum resolutions it'd support
- use one resolution at a time
1024x768, than try 1280x1024, than try 1600x1200 etc
than try the other monitor by itself, and see what it supports
for maximum by itself
-- the same stanza probably cannot be used for both monitors
since they both have different video bios and different horisync and
vertrefresh

if 1600x1200 only works on one but not the other, get a better monitor ??
- if its a external monitor, it's easy to upgrade
- if its the laptop lcd doesn't go fast enuff... it's a problem,
but luckily, that is not the case here
