this isn't just for multiple displays its for resolution too and just fyi..
people with laptops need this quite often. :) if its never used the code is
never paged in from disk so it costs nothing (if its already part of a module
loaded anyway).

well it really should be one and the same dialog. to set up resolution and
rotation for each screen AND set up how many screens are enabled or not and
what the policy is when a new screen is found (auto-enable, never enable,
should it extend or clone etc.).

it really should support the whole range - 1.1, 1.2 etc. - a user shouldnt
have to switch dialogs to choose what version of a spec is supported. they have
no clue which one is supported. they just want it to "work". :)
