It is possible, but it depends on the X Server being used. XFree86 provides X Servers and only the Matrox Server provides dualhead support. The question is:
Can i easily use a dualhead videocard or two videocards in one computer with its own instance of X Windows and an X Login manager?
The answer is:
Yes, however, no Linux distribution has arranged programs to interact with X this way. A user login must set thier $DISPLAY environment variable to that of the X Server needed to be used. And at the same toke, X Servers are questionable whether you can change any X Server to use a different port on a network or pseudo-network interface. You would have to modify the actual code of the X Server to allow it to bind to a separate network port and coexist peacefully with another X Server, and I mean to say that the *must* be separate X Servers and they can't use the same lock files in the/tmp directory. The X Server must not support the same videocard as in the case with the XFree86_SVGA X Server being use to support many different brands of Videocards for 2D SVGA Display; in that matter, all videocards have integrated VGA controllers and they may conflict with eachother on bootup and will either 1)prevent the system from booting, or 2)the videocard in question may be disable by the BIOS or simply disable itself. Some videocards allow disabling their integrated VGA controller, like the Elsa GloriaXL; in my experience, allowing usage of another videocard's VGA controller, but the real issue is whether Plug'N'Play can live upto its name and how the Computer's BIOS interacts with PCI devices.
XFree86 provides a Matrox X Server to allow cascaded desktops for a single X Windows session and no more; no multi-X Windows sessions allowed; for what I know.
You must custom build/modifiy an X Login Manager for each videocard, an X Server for each videocard, and redesign the second X Server to use a different input device system. In short, their must be compilations for a Primary X Server and those otherwise running in parallel shall be known as the Secondary, Tertiary, etc, and that all other X Servers have their own Virtual Terminals, etc. This will not be a rewrite of system software because remember, only the Primary X Server/Videocard has its integrated VGA controller enable and is the only one with the virtual terminals. Were talking about some simple X Server programming, no hooks. The only possibility this may happen is by designing it on a LinuxFromScratch system via participation with the knowledgebase of www.linuxfromscratch.org, and submit the design specs for the modification to the MIT X Consortium for approval of integration into the sourcebase.
I don't see how these articles can be posted, given the nature of this forum. Stop using some degree of multiple or pseudomeasurement for some kind of performance. Please give the raw detail please.
5X fast than 802.11.b? So that means it is 50 Megabits capable? Is that Half of Full Duplex? There now. It wasn't too hard to say 50 Megabits as it was to say 5X of ______(fill in blank)?
About time someone found out that Tom's Hardware is biased for Intel. Temperature monitoring is built into the BIOS and can be interacted with via software. So what if the Palomino's thermistor or diode can't keep up with registering via software that the CPU is getting pretty spicey underneath. That'll be errata they can fix with a BIOS upgrade that any and all system integrators/ex used-car salesmen can perform. Besides, this is software we're talking about, that probabley won't be in the next Motherboard MFG's BIOS upgrade. It'll be fixed in the temperature monitor in the Windoze software.
HOWEVER,
YOU DON'T SEE THIS HAPPEN WITH LINUX ADMINS; PEOPLE INSTALLING SHITTY HEATSINKS WHATNOT AND PULLING THEM OFF WHEN THE SYSTEM IS ON.
Only Rabii Tom's Hardware.com would be stupid enough to give an example by running MS Windows and remove remove the Heatsink.
x86 is for retards
You don't see them showing examples of this with PA-RISC and Alphas. This justifies the bias of rabii Tom's Hardware.
They didn't cover that one! I'm sure Tom would've "discovered" that the Intel Pentium 4 CPUs have an internal fresh-bread-seeking missile system while the AMD XP would just make like an oven and bake. Were still talking about the same "Rabbi Tom's Bakery" right?
Damn you're good. Exlpained it like it was just yesterday; like you're still using those punch cards. You should write a book, you explained C's strengths so well.

You know of the KKK right? Good, have you ever heard of PAX television, like that "touched by an angel" shit? Well, K-PAX is the planet that dumped all this loony cracker shit on Planet Earth. The fact that Kevin Spacey, obviously named by his parents on Planet K-PAX, portrays an alien from Planet K-PAX in this movie is an omen that K-PAX is responsible for *ALL* of our health problems relating from Mental illness and retardation and ending at indigestion and CRT-eye syndrom.
People affected by K-PAX are not aware they are in-fact affected. Runny bowels, burbing, burping and farting in the elderly are the signs of K-PAX influence. If you see the movie K-PAX, you will not see anything new. People speek to animals, some are afraid of water on toilette seats, and some of us eat oranges without peeling them. You'll see the same in K-PAX.

Don't visit your relatives as you undergo treatment of K-PAX syndrome. I don't know why, but Dr. Phill T. Critic just says I shouldn't because it would cause withdrawls and hemmoraging.
Bill Gates wants to kill Unix uptime! How many Linux distributions default to installing WINE? How many default to DosEMU? Do you see a pattern of Microsoft Apps infiltrating Unix desktops? I SEE IT! All these non-emulator, "Software Transitional Layers", are running on Unix operating systems suid root! I see their potential! Their potential lies to us. The software they run determines their stability!
Wine is an emulator that interacts directly with the host operating system. Don't bullshit people because of WINE's naming convention. (W)ine (I)s (N)ot an (E)mulator; that's bull shit. It emulates the look and feel of Microsoft Windows: down to crashing and not unfreeing your system ram. It is worse than an emulator, it allows Win32 programs to interact with the operating system and it does so with super-user access! WINE is the head-ache of X11 and you know it! An example of an emulator is "tuxnes", wine is a transitional layer for an insecure operating system to corrupt a secure operating system!
WINE API is isnpired by Bill Gates to destroy Linux. How else do you think Microsoft can destroy Linux, but by inspiring Win32 to corrupt Linux! Microsoft takes an open stand against Linux. Possibly the only thing which is open about Microsoft are their statements on how much they dislike Linux. Microsoft has corrupted the C and C++ programming Languages from day 1 of its creation. They want you, John Doe, to be known as Microsoft-approved John Doe.
Every technological standard ever created by free companies has been modified and made to be proprietary to run only on Microsoft operating systems. Compare PPTP with SSH/CSLIP and SSH/PPP. Microsoft has done nothing good for modern computers. WINE is an attempt to corrupt which Microsoft can not. Simply by fear of public opinion, Microsoft finds ways to destroy non Microsoft operating systems. Nobody talks about Microsoft trying to make computers unstable when Microsoft backtalks to everyone on their freedom to "inovate" software. WINE API is just that, a way for them to indirectly destroy Unix operating systems. WINE brings all the security risks and exploits of Microsoft software to Unix operating systems. This is the future, viruses are being created to be more intelligent and will be able to move through operating systems without regard of their platform and environment; thanks to WINE.
Transgaming, in effect, is the influence of WINE users WANTING more of Microsoft's influence. Speeking analogically, Transgaming is the Alcohol you find in WINE. It makes your Linux system act strange. It and WINE attempt to strip your free memory and make it WINE's. WINE crashes, taking you free memory with it. WINE makes Unix software unstable and like Microsoft software, WINE doesn't respect your system because it is run under super-user mode; it can do anything it wants.
Don't fall into their trap. Keep your business' workstations stable. Don't use an emulator that interacts with your operating system directly and owns your environment. Think native, think secure, think non-Microsoft. Thanks go to Scott Draeker and his wonderful staff on creating entertainment for Linux and BSD. You are an inspiration for our perspiration.
Who says the OS needs to know there are two or 4 or 6 CPUs in a system? Threaded programming works best only on Clusters. SMP scales poorly on Intel Pentium IV's because maybe that isn't a reason to use two Pentium IV CPUs...Each CPU provides more resource management. Someone should've written some supporting text on "the SMP myth" which includes why SMP is not a good and efficient solution to increase calculation performance on a given workstation. Pentium Pro CPUs provide BUS Mastering in SMP mode and the secondary CPU provides upto %30 of extra system performance. Of Course, for every extra CPU in a Pentium Pro system, it adds 30% - (NumCPUs*5) performance due to scheduling in the software. It is always the Primary CPU in a multi-cpu system that must schedule events for the Secondary, Tertiary, and Quaternary cpu in software. On a Pentium Pro CPU, that requires somewhere around 10% of that Primary CPU's processing power to schedule software for that second CPU; it's around 15%/20% for the 3rd, etc. That's why you see Dual Pentium IV Workstations not performing upto par with another workstation with only one Pentium IV. It's SMP doesn't scale well. The only value of multiple-CPUs is for BUS Mastering and providing more system resource management. Intel abandoned BUS Mastering in SMP systems after the Pentium Pro. So, for the extra cost of using a second Pentium IV CPU, it isn't worth it. Just get a nice Pentium Pro Server on eBay and you will get your money's worth for those extra CPUs; which provide BUS Mastering. Pentium Pro has always been a nice CPU. You can scramble an egg in 5 minutes, versus 15 for the Pentium IV.
Fiber is good for communications because the lines themselves aren't affected by Pulse Energy Weapons, and the occasional air-burst nuclear bomb, but I see no advantage of using Fiber optics as a system bus. Joke: According to einstein's theory of relativity, a Fiber Optic (Computer)Bus traveling on a train, moving at 50 Miles/per hour will be surprisingly slow at only 50 Miles/per hour/Joke. There will always be transponders for fiber optic communications, but does that mean ever Integrate Circuit on a motherboard will need a transpoder/repeater for every Fiber Optic IO connection? If so, that means the Fiber Optic IO Lines will be no faster than standard Electron(ic) Integrated Circuits. Think of it, if Electron are slower than Protons, then Electrons will be the bottleneck of sending pulses of light. We are stuck again with Electrons. And if an EMP blast were to happen, which my UFO-computer will be safe some, everyone else's Computers will be fried and they fiber optics will still work like a charm, but with no computing value.

3DLabs is pushing Unix technology by helping advance openGL. Check dri.sourceforge.net and you'll see the GMX 2000 supported. On eBay, you can get a used, but mint AGP 32MB GMX2000 for around $50. That's 100 fps sustained, which one of nVidia's or ATI's gaming videocards would croak under the geometry load of what's being rendered.
ATI and nVidia are real nice, but lets get some more heterogeneous Linux systems, not a bunch of mono-toned, spit-dribbling babies crying about how good their performance on their nVidia GePhorse versus them not needing open-sourced drivers. Linux was meant to be 100% open-source.

I know there are maybe 10 different types of WMA, all of which are based on Microsoft's original AVI video format... Why is everyone adopting WMA when it is known to be one of the worst formats in existance?

You don't see dual AGP slots because they haven't tried implementing a motherboard in a SMP fashion without the operating system being aware it is SMP. Think multiple PPP pipelines between two Athlon CPUs, just as they described in the Athlon 760MP Specifications, but think of it implemented in a way where the operating system cannot detect SMP. SMP could be automatic! Linuxthreads and POSIX will be the same. Linuxthreads allows code to generate across clusters, but I'm talking about a quick way to eliminate Linuxthreads working itself to scale on multiple CPUs on the BUS. Why haven't they created a parallel Multiprocessor system on one motherboard? CPUs perform 1 / X data operations; same goes for FPU. Transparent SMP across the BUS, Operating system not aware. That should make AGP scale on motherboards without any limitation. I think ther would have to be dedicated RAM for each CPU, but that shouldn't be restrictive in today's era. This spells a new technology, I think i am getting to Virtual Linux. Linux in a BIOS shell. Or am I thinking of a 2-node cluster on 1 motherboard. Yes I am. That'll work well!
