Hmmm... You give me too much credit -- I had no intention to
differentiate between an X-windows "display" and a physical "screen",
and given I was talking about a laptop (where the screen is built-in) I
didn't expect the use of the word "display" to cause any confusion.

For those that care, here is a link to the computer in question -- you
may have to click on one of the other links within the page to get it to
switch to the (animated) graphic showing how each card controls half of
the "screen":

(ok, I just checked -- it really does say /screen/ in the animation)
