Dual Headed Framebuffer?

Hey all,

I recently got 2 gfx cards working in X.org, a Geforce 4 MX 440 (AGP)
and an S3 Trio 64V+ (PCI). Looks lovely with flux running seperate
sessions :-)

What I really wanna know is - can the framebuffers be configured to
provide two displays? The same, or preferably differnt output.

I read somewhere that it can only be done using a Matrox card as the
secondary graphics interface.

Can anyone clarify this?

Thanks in advance

M

cards is probly not easy =/
