Is there anyway to get a dual head system to use the two monitors as
two different consoles? I got a dual head setup working nicely in
F25 and Gnome, but when I switch to the console the two monitors are
mirrored. Can they be set up to be two different consoles as well as
the virtual consoles on "Alt-F2, Alt-F3" etc?
I don't know, but I suspect that the framebuffer software that runs the
virtual consoles is not sophisticated enough to do what you want.
That "sophisticated" software "that runs the virtual consoles" with multiple outputs is called X Window System, be it X11 or Wayland.
So if you ask the Linux kernel console to be the X Window System, well, it is, already!
Do you follow? :)
I don't.
My recollection is that with a single keyboard and monitor,
virtual consoles do not require X.
One can even run different instances of X on each virtual console.
