Correct, redhat-config-xfree86 is currently singlehead only, and I don't know what the algorithm it uses is to pick a video card if multiple are present. My assumption is that it picks the first one returned in a linked list or something. Definitely an area needing improvement. Hopefully we can improve this area in our next release. -- Mike A.
