Yup, I have this with two PCI cards and it works fine. The
XINERAMA-HOWTO has lots of useful tips, even if you don't actually
want to use that particular X extension (I don't, and so I have
separate :0.0 and :0.1 displays).
Under XFree86 3.3.x, you could probably run two separate X servers,
and use magic (like x2x) to forward things from :1.0 to :0.0. But
that'd be a little trickier.
