I think you'll need to actually start two X servers, one for each of the video cards. How the kbd and mouse get mapped I don't know but there will probably to be separate X configurations for each server and maybe the input devices can be specified there. The last I looked at running X was a loooong time ago.

If you open up a second console by doing "ctrl-alt F2", login as a second user, and type startx -- :1 & or, in my case, I'm using xfce: startxfce4 -- :1 & you'll find that you have two X sessions for two separate users, one on "ctrl-alt F7" and one on "ctrl-alt F8". Now the question is, how to get each session going in a separate monitor, controlled by separate keyboard/mouse. Haven't done the two monitor thing, I'll have to leave that for you.
