I've been running dual-head Xinerama for years, at this point. The basic
requirements are:
- run lspci to discover what PCI address your card(s) are using.
- modify /etc/X11/XF86Config to add the second card and monitor.

Hotswapping IDE RAID is very bad unless you buy a 3Ware controller.
Non-hotswap IDE RAID is quite good.
