I'm very interested in how you got the dual DRI part working.  I use
ruby 2.6.2, with DRI on one screen only. The other uses software
rendering so I have 3D there too, but _way_ too slow for tuxracer.

Is this setup open-source only, or do you use some closed 3D driver?
Did you do anything special to get this, other than compiling your own
patched xserver?

Also, it looks like you have a single cpu.  Are both games nice
and smooth with such a setup, or does the first game get
noticeably worse when the second one starts?
I've noticed that tuxracer doesn't like a compile going on at
the same time, but that's on a 333MHz processor. A dual cpu
setup fixed that for me.

Destroyed how - logging out kills the other xserver too?
