I would like to run two X-servers because KDE doesn't like multi-head very
well (always pops up new screens split between the monitors - yecch). And,
of course, VMware and Win4Lin don't like it either. It would be nice to have
KDE on one monitor and then run one of the other full screen in the other
monitor (XFree86-4.0, two video cards here).
Anyone have experience with this?
