Well, it seems I made an error: the smaller screen would be a CRT, not an
LCD. :/ I was thinking of stuff like text smoothing, which is best done
differently on the two types of screens, but I've not seen any setups
where one screen uses subpixel rendering and the other doesn't --
especially using Xinerama, which is important. I need to be able to move
windows from screen to screen.
Thanks,
