Which ones? I tried it on my box, and got back some
information. I'm running reasonably recent NVidia drivers
(most recent stable in Gentoo):

x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.8776-r1
x11-base/xorg-x11-7.2

These are the binary drivers. The information given is
different to what Alan got however:

sam@fenris ~ $ xrandr
 SZ:    Pixels          Physical       Refresh
*0   1920 x 1200   ( 650mm x 406mm )  *60
 1   1680 x 1050   ( 650mm x 406mm )   60
Current rotation - normal
Current reflection - none
Rotations possible - normal
Reflections possible - none
