Twinview... it's annoying at times.. well for games.

The issue here is Nvidia's twinview exposes a single VERY WIDE screen instead of two screens, so when SDL queries the resolutions it gets "strange REALLY wide" resolutions.

At this point, the only fix is to edit the main_settings.cfg manually. I will look into some cleaner fixes, possibly by modifying the launcher to allow manually entered resolutions or find some Nvidia/ATI way of fetching resolutions better for dual head setups.. (I have both so I can test).

Adding to my TODO list..
