You can't currently run a PCI/AGP graphics chip as 2nd head, UPA or SBus
cards should work though.

It would be possible if XFree's PCI code wouldn't try to map everything
through a single console file descriptor. This code needs to be
rewritten.

As I said, you can use the onboard video chip as first head ( it needs
to be the console ) and an UPA board as 2nd.=20
Multihead configurations with two SBus cards or two Creators just work.
( not on an U10 obviously but I have an U1 with two cg6 and others tried
two Creators in a U60 )

This is not sparc64-specific, macppc has the same limitation ( and no
SBus or UPA... ), for i386 there's a workaround, /dev/xf86 if I remember
correctly.

have fun
Michael
