Depends if the implementation of the two heads is done in the
framebuffer device or in the X server driver.
if it's done inside the x server doesn't that rule out independent
multihead (one x server per head)?
If it's done _only_ inside the X server you wouldn't get independent
multihead.

Whether or not you get accelleration in the fbdev depends on whether the
framebuffer driver you're using supports it, and whether you enable it as a

On the x86, the VESA2 framebuffer driver is easy to set up but does not have
