Matthieu> Under X, it's another story:

	I'll comment here since I was just considering the same thing
under BSDI (which uses the Xinside Accelerated X server by default).

	From their web page and some other browsing, I found that you
could have one of <most vendor's cards> + any number of Matrox
Millenium in a system.  The Matrox cards aparently auto-configure when
there's more than one.  Other cards are more painful (and they had
some hints for some other specific situations).

	As far as I know, the sparc port allows multiple framebuffers
of different types.  I do have two cgtwo0 cards, and would be tempted
to try them both in one machine if someone assured me that it might
work, but the generic kernels generally configure up botht he cgtwo0
and bwtwo0 in my machine.

	I suppose that there's nothing but a driver stopping you.

Dave.
