It's just the name of the card... perhaps someone else knows the history

It's been a while since I've used X on a two monitor machine (like back in
X11R4), but it sounds like this hasn't changed--you can't drag windows
across screens. To open a window on another screen, use the -display
option. e.g. xterm -display :0.1
