Mmm, i think i heard on the linux-fbdev list that it was post 2.6 stuff,
and i think the reports you heard about where mostly hacks.

Anyway, i want two different seats on both heads of one graphic card,
which is not possible anyway (altough could be with my Jeronimo 2000, as
it has two separate rasterizer chips driving each head).
