A) Is it (or will it ever be) possible to run dual head
using two different cards (like radeon & riva-tnt2)?  I know
there is still much work to be done, but I was curious if
this was even remotely possible.

I think it should theoretically work, but as always the only way to tell
is to try it. :)

Well there isn't much on multiheading in the documentation, so I was hoping 
for some hints or key insights into how to set this up.

Something like video=radeonfb video=riva ?

B) Does anyone have a painless, yet precise way of
generating modelines for fb.modes if you are using
XFree-4.2?  I only ask because the XFree modelines are all
determined by i2c DDC probing, thus there are none in the
XF86Config file.

If the X driver supports Option "UseFBDev", you should be able to use
fbset with that.

Huh?  The problem is that fbset will not work because I need to populate 
fb.modes with proper mode lines.  So at the moment fbset won't work at all.  

I was thinking of running X with Option "UseFBDev" and getting
information about the modes with fbset.
