It is possible to use two graphics cards under Linux with XFree86-4.0 and
the Xinerama extension. However, currently, you cannot use hw-accelerated
OpenGL and Xinerama together. You are limited to X only.

Not at this time. Mainly due to lack of support for multipipe
hw-accelerated OpenGL with XFree86-4.0.
