the 1994 disabilities law (forget its name) allows for you to request
reasonable accomodation for your disabity. If you were to be
performing duties on a single machine, it would definitly be
reasonable to request a machine that is capable of displaying a lower
resolution and using hardware panning (XFree86 does this, I've seen a
few Win95/98/NT video card drivers that do it as well). On the other
hand, if your job were to be going from machine to machine thru an
entire company, maintaining them, it wouldnt be reasonable to request
that.
