	Hmm, that could be interesting... I've seen HP's with dual screens,
	and they're still using  R5 (though heavily  patched, I guess).  If
	XFree did support dual,  I'd still be  left with the problem of TWO
	video cards at TWO different addresses (that may  not be a problem,
	with a bit of soldering)...  

	Also, I don't *need* X on two screens, just on one, and a console
	on the other.  

	I'm going to end up buying a VGA switch :-)
