I don't see how this can be detected automatically.  In my case I have two 
monitors.  How can it detect what the orientation is?  Which screen is on the 
left (or top)?  I also use nvidia drivers, not nv.  How would it detect what 
resolution I want for the default?  There would have to be some kind of 
configuration file for the system to use upon startup.
