Interesting question. Not sure. I guess it depends on whether you can
have the second display enabled while still leaving the chip vga
compatible on the first screen. With two seperate video cards I am sure
you can do it (use the primary vga card as the console, and launch X on
the secondary card). Maybe an old PCI video card running as your
primary console display would be a good debug tool. If you crash,
connect the monitor to the PCI card and see why. :)
