Hi Ken and all,
I appreciate all of the input folks are providing. However, I asked the
simple question if separate X screens could be configured on Intel
integrated graphics. The discussion seems to have degenerated into "you
don't want to do" what I wish to do and "you should try something else."
There are legitimate use cases for this. I suspect Ken wants to do
something like running a completely different X session on a second
monitor.
What you're looking for is Zaphod mode. There *is* a configuration
option for this, but I have no idea whether the code paths are bug
free or even implemented.
An example for using Zaphod mode with nouveau is here at
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/MultiMonitorDesktop/. The same
configuration tweaked for the intel driver should work.

Thanks Boudhayan,
I had come across Zaphod a few times but had not yet made sense of it.
The example you point to may give me a starting point. The only
parameters I cannot figure out are the "Actual connector" values. I
have the possibilities:
DP-1
DP-2
HDMI-A-1
HDMI-A-2
I have a monitor plugged into the DisplayPort connection and one into
the HDMI connection. I suppose I could guess that they are both #1. I
will try that and see if it lets the smoke out :-)
Ken
