Can you run the graphics card as two seperate X servers though? I have only ever heard of people doing multi user setup using seperate PCI video cards that could be run with a seperate X config for each card by specifying the PCI ID for each device. I guess if you disable cinerama, you might be able to get screen 0.0 and 0.1 managed seperately somehow. I hadn't heard of xephyr before, although it sounds like it is intended to manage dividing one X session into seperate sessions.
