Separate displays is useful for multi-headed systems. I know a couple people who buy one, high-power desktop for the whole family and then attach multiple screens and input devices. If you want to do that, but your GPU can't handle multiple X displays, you can still set it up by using one master X server, and then running multiple, nested X servers, each given a specific region (which may or may not correspond precisely to one or more screens, but that's usually what you'd want). Attach the IO devices to the nested ones obviously.
I'm trying to do that. I understood that video cards didn't support it, so I have two video cards, but I haven't managed to get both of them working together, so far ... (couldn't even get the computer to boot properly last I tried ...)
