[Intel-gfx] Separate X-Screen feature - dual monitoring

[Stig Eriksson]

I am searching for a solution for the following problem, that I found
in an old post from 2009.

This is really a driver question. We do not want to run two independent
X servers, we want to run one server with 2 separate screens, so that
the displays would be :0.0 and :0.1.
