DisplayPort should be capable of driving the monitor to full resolution.

I can get 2 monitors working on the HDX.  First I connect one monitor to
the VGA port and get it working.   Then I disable the laptop display.
Then I add the second monitor.

Right now I am running the U3011 at 1920x1200 and the FPW2007 at
1680x1050.
