Version two, should work fine on sane systems. I've changed the logic a bit 
too, in almost all cases, it will use xrandr. Only in the case that xrandr 
isn't even loaded, will it try and use xf86vm to set modes. In either case, 
it will use Xinerama for various things (to get monitor info on broken 
xrandr implementations).

Other than the X crash on my laptop, and ex_fs_resize not actually 
displaying anything after the mode is set, it works ;D So one problem I 
can't do anything about, and the other I can't explain.

The mode setting is rather smooth on my radeon box, hopefully its just as 
smooth on my other systems (can't test reliably, nvidia only has one mode, 
and laptop X crashes after.. oy).

So please test, let me know how ex_fs_resize works, and if you can, take a 
look and see if you can figure out why I'm not seeing any updating in 
ex_fs_resize.

thanks
