Think about some of the implications ... For instance, textures are stored on the card, so if you load a texture into one card, it would some how need to be loaded into the 2nd card if a portion of the window overlaps onto the second display ... not impossible, but perhaps beyond the scope of current drivers. If a window spans two cards, the drivers would some how have to draw to both cards at the same time ... again this get's really complicated really fast. You say you have two different cards with perhaps different amounts of texture ram, and each possibly supporting different extensions. What if you fill up the texture ram of the card with less onboard ram and not the other? What if you start an application on one card, the app queries to see what extension that card supports, and then you drag the window over to a less capable card? What if you have two card from different vendors with no cooperation between the respective driver writers? There are some really tough, complicated issues here so it doesn't suprise me if the driver writers dropped 10 yards and punted on this.
