I hear that we will have the support soon. It will be in Xfree86 4.0, which I hear we will have when it becomes 4.01. It is also heavily dependant on what vedio cards you have. I would reccomend checking on www.xfree86.org for information.
If you're interested in having text consoles on both monitors check out the fbcon development list. Check out www.linux-fbdev.org for that, and keep in mind that there's a LOT more hardware dependancy right now and heavy development. I'd actually reccomend NOT attempting fbdev on two vedio cards (excepting if you have an old Hercules monochrome somewhere) unless you want to help out heavily with testing. Basically, wait about a month or whatever for xfree86 4.01 to be packaged.
