Should be *possible*, although the GGI Matrox Millenium driver is
newish and I don't think it can run MMIO-only yet, which is necessary for
multiheading. Right now, the only SVGA-SVGA multiheading we have working
is between any number of S3 cards and any one other card, but that should
change very soon as the other drivers mature.

No. We are still alpha, although a lot works already.

LibGGI can run without the kernel patch in a window in X by
setting its display target to X instead of the kernel. You aren't going
to get multiheading without the kernel patch and drivers, however.
