[Cialug] Can a dual-headed graphics card appear as 2 virtual consoles?

[Daniel A. Ramaley]

I recently acquired a second monitor for my machine (running Debian), 
that i'll refer to as A and B. Both monitors are plugged into the same 
graphics card, and getting them to act as one wide desktop was quite 
easy. However, i'd rather they act as 2 separate virtual consoles. 
Right now the machine effectively has 7 virtual consoles. 1-6 are 
text-mode only and only display on monitor A. 7 is X Windows and spans 
both A and B. Is it possible to make 1-7 appear on A, and have a 
separate X session on B as console 8?

So then if i hit ctrl-alt-F7 the keyboard/mouse will control X running 
on monitor A, and when i hit ctrl-alt-F8 the keyboard/mouse will switch 
to be controlling a separate X session on monitor B.
