Sorry, misunderstanding! I meant to refer to "dual head" display -
driving two monitors off one VF to spread the display across both
monitors, which I find useful when doing some DTP work. The sort of
mode I have/had configured as "V M X2560 Y1024 C16M"

As far as I can tell, this is not (yet?) implemented in the VF
patches.

Best wishes
