Separate X Screens - possible on Intel Integrated HD Graphics?

[rhkramer at gmail.com]

I just came across an article on Linux Journal that mentions a program named 
x2x which might be helpful.  The mention of x2x is on the third page of the 
article, and I've included one quotation:

Build a Large-Screen Command Center with 
the RPi 2 

http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/build-large-screen-command-center-
rpi-2?page=0,2&utm_source=phplist11&utm_medium=email&utm_content=text&utm_campaign=LinuxCounter%20Newsletter%202016%2F01

I guess I could mention that the article deals with two (large) monitors 
driven by separate Raspberry Pis runniing, essentially, Debian (Raspian)--now 
read the quote above.

With x2x, you can move the mouse (and keyboard focus) from one RPi to the 
other, one monitor to the other, as though the screens were attached to a 
single computer. It's fast and seamless.

I've just barely skimmed the article, so I make no promises / endorsements--
just something that might be helpful.
