There used to be dual-head issues, even "natively" with directly
calling into XvBA. However, that was 2+ years ago.

vainfo is not very representative since the underlying implementation
path won't trigger X window  / rendering. We could assess whether this
is an xvba-driver issue or possibly driver issue by trying with
another player.

I suggest you at least try with:
<http://gitorious.org/hwdecode-demos/hwdecode-demos/>

Then, you could experiment with:
- xvba_h264
- vaapi_h264
with either DISPLAY settings, and report back.

Thanks,
Gwenole.
