Thanks.  I suspect, however, that the issues identified by this don't
apply since the two cards were a GT240 and a GT220 which are not part of
the legacy group that this is meant to help with.  I'm sort of committed
to moving to nouveau since it weans me from these awkward special
support modes and nouveau appears to have reached a reasonable level of
maturity.  I've been using nouveau on a laptop with an add on monitor
for some time now and find it a bit better than the nvidia twinview
stuff.  This is not to mention that disentangling the proprietary
drivers is a bit painful.  Returning to the nvidia proprietary approach
would have to have certain success to be worth going back.  At the
moment I have stable operation with two screens and can live this way.
