How?  This idea has been put forth on this list previously, and at that
point I mentioned that I was never able to get it to work, and whoever
claimed that it had worked never replied. :(  The only way I see using
the second head without the HAL is to use fbdev for *both* heads, which
is not a nice compromise.
