Can those "sessions" be in one program (open 4 framebuffers from one

Unfortunately, you cannot run multiple DirectFB sessions in one program,
yet.
Is there a special reason that multiple framebuffers are not supported ?
Or is it simply because when the project was started the availability of
multi head cards was rare ?
Yes, it's more about history and the roots of DirectFB.
I would appreciate multi head support, but it's not easy to add,
and I wouldn't do it before finishing the (surface) core refactoring.
Having multiple heads via one framebuffer (one card) device is much
easier, because there aren't different pools of video memory that
need to be handled. Also, there's one shared accelerator.
