Not yet. One way to implement this would be a video driver multiplexer, that allows one
server to be running several video drivers simultaneously. You could even split the 
output
far sooner, and run the same app on multiple output devices, all with different 
resolutions
and different themes. This idea was suggested by Lalo a while back, but it will take 
another
refactoring of the video code for it to be possible.
