I would be very interested in a dual monitor option, as I have access to
multiple video cards and monitors (some of them old, but..)

Anyways, if (when) someone implements this, the features I would like to
see are:

- support for multiple VC's on different monitors

- ability to startx on one or more monitors, i.e. if I wanted X on
monitors 1 and 3, leaving 2 with a VC

This is just a wish list for anyone developing, though.. I don't have
enough programming experience to be able to code this myself.
