We did not yet try getting monitor information from other distributions to 
use with BL2 but should it not be possible to look at what is in 
XF86Config and use that information with BL2?

SuSE 6 also sets things up for each monitor properly and will reconfigure 
automatically if you change monitors, and it runs much faster than Corel 
Linux.
