FC2: nv driver with dualhead, xinerama setup

[Steve Berry]

Why is it required to have 2 cards with the nv driver used with x.org, I
simply don't understand why it lacks multiple outputs, other then full
support of the card being lacked.

Yes, it is "possible" - you definitely need two cards for a dual head
configuration with nv.

Have a look at man nv. There are some options to specify which head to
use.
