[PD] Videohelp: Rendering GEM on an different Display and geforce 4 mx !

[bbogart at ryerson.ca]

I've had no problems doing video out using the nv drivers and my geForce2MX under linux... 

I was just using the suggested twinview settings in the nv documentation, have worked with version 1??? 2??? and 4???  (I can't remember the exact numbers)!

"connectedDisplay" does not look like a familiar NV flag...
