Well... yes and no :)
I just wondered if it was possible because I couldn't get X working with
those two boards... Since I need X on only one display, I could have
used this config as a workaround.

But I'll forget about that since apparently this is not possible. Maybe
this would be worth adding a few lines in the vga(4) manual page?

Ok, I was not sure about that :)

But I just can't find how to launch two separate X servers. The second
one insists on using a VT on the first display (which has the console
attached), and nothing gets displayed on the second display (even not a
sync signal).
In Xinerama mode, same story: the second display doesn't work.
Of course, I have tested each board and each screen separately (single
head) and this works perfectly.
