Good question. The -answer is that, if you do it "the logical way", the always helpful -NVidia drivers will tell the X server that you have a virtual screen -whose size is the bounding box of the union of all MetaModes.

Adding the MetaMode after -the startup of the X server avoids this issue.</p> -<p>In the recipe, I have two functions to set landscape (normal) and -portrait (vertical) orientation.
