OK, to clarify this:

If you want to run dual-head, meaning a single login, single keyboard 
and mouse, and just have myth show up on one monitor and work on the 
other, that's one thing.

If you want to run multi-seat, meaning a separate login on each screen, 
each monitor has its own keyboard, mouse, and whatnot, that's another thing.
