It's quite some work before that becomes possible. I have tried to ge such a
machine
running with kgi-0.9 and even had some success as far as console work was
concerned.
Getting two graphical sessions going was a quite difficult. It worked in the
end somehow (even with XF86) but was not in a very useable state. Mainly
because the XF86 server thought it should initialize all video cards it finds...

Using the KGI-0.9 code I have had such a machine with two independent sessions
going. However, only one could have been graphical.
The among some initialization issues popping up with XFree 4.0 there were mainly
problems with the console (device) permissions which require work.
