Particularly not in Brain's case (Matrox dual head). That card has one graphics chip driving two screens. Even if it were theoretically possible to have two X servers driving different displays on the same chip at the same time* I can't imagine anyone with the skill bothering to take the time to write it - they would probably find it easier to add support for Xinerama on some but not all displays, which would be more widely useful. *Note that running 2 X servers on one display/chip usually means different virtual consoles, so only one server is active at a time. -- Dr. Andrew C.
