Yes, exactly. It won't work because it can't, or because it's not written 
to handle this (but could be)?

The use case is I had an old card. I bought a new one, and now I want to 
use both so I can have 3 monitors.

Obviously the kernel module has to support two versions at once first, so 
I'm not asking for multiple nvidia-glx variants if the kernel part is not 
possible.

I actually wasn't asking for anything, I was just wondering if a: it was 
possible, and b: if anyone who understood the driver even had it on some 
future wishlist, or if it's not something that was even considered.
