You can also use cards with 2 outputs, but you'll have to change the scripts.

Both Xephyr and Xgl solutions run only 1 instance of Xorg (and
multiple instances of Xephyr/Xgl). The live-cd uses Xephyr.

Multi-head is supported, not multiseat.

You mean cards with 2 video outputs?
Well, we still plan to make generic scripts to work with them...

We know =(
But you can still learn how things work there =)
