I have no problem with doing this in the driver, as long as every driver does it the same way.

Integrating this with RandR > could get interesting to say the least though... The complicated bits would be when both screen have not the same resolution. Altough i get using a virtual screen is the way to go, i have doubts that the current desktop manager will understand that we are not using a part of the screen. Funny that there is discution about this in the DRI list, while when i asked on the xfree86 list some time ago, nobody cared.
