I know how to set X up to use the second head on the G400/450/550... what I
don't understand is the fascination people have with using a framebuffer.
What's the attraction? What does it do for you? Is it just to get these
annoying console sizes? The idea of unaccelerated X has such appeal?
I admit I've never bothered researching it at all... never saw the need, or
even the point. :)
