One thing I just thought of: maybe you can run dual monitors, but one is text mode, and one is graphics? That is, the X server would only know about one monitor. But the kernel would know about both, and it could run processes connected to a TTY which writes to the second monitor. Rather than a TTY connected to an xterm connected to the X server. (I think that is the way it works) This goes back to my question: is text mode part of the graphics driver or part of the BIOS? I assume the BIOS has no knowledge of dual monitors, but my knowledge is fuzzy there.
