I was wondering if anyone could tell if you can and how to keep different
display resolutions on different User Accounts?

I have two user accounts. One for myself and one for the wife. She likes the
600x800 and I like the 1023x768. If you change it in one user account, it
then is the same in both user accounts. If possible, would like to have them
both hold the different settings.

Thanks,
Ed.

Allow custom display settings for each user
