XFree86 does not support dual headed systems (2 graphics cards with
two monitors), at least not yet. Several commercial servers do
though, e.g., Xi Graphics (http:\\www.xig.com) supports dual headed
systems with differing graphics cards. I believe Metro-X does as well
but I don't have their URL handy.
