DualHead card with HW acceleration

The NVIDIA X driver supports hw accelerated rotation.  Note that
the current support is for rotating an entire X screen, so to rotate
2 DFPs driven by one GPU, you could setup 2 separate X screens on
one GPU, each X screen driving one DFP, and each X screen rotated.

I hope that helps,
