We all want this feature. But this is not a typical appliance of SoC
according Foundation's philosophy. Bring the multiple video cards
support again is just a procedural task. See our goal [0]:
"The X.org board treats GSoC as an opportunity to teach new developers
rather than a chance to get a pile of free code. With this perspective,
if, in two months, the student actually has learned how to contribute to
X Window System, that's a huge step forward. Creating a project which
guides this process with a maximal chance of success is the only tricky
part."
