I've never used this or even heard of it... Might be interesting as there are many environment variables one can set to change the anti-aliasing/shadowing/ etc....

AFAIK, not necessary either as the nvidia driver can take care of it (see the README.gz file I referenced in a previous email.) I had mine set as a dual-headed monitor/tv.
