Now, I'm not a ruby master, so don't take my word for absolute truth,
but I'm pretty sure that it's impossible to run two graphics cards in
VGA mode simultaneously. At least that's how I've understood it.

It is, however, possible to run two cards in framebuffer mode
simultaneously. You'll need the framebuffer console support compiled
into your kernel (or as a module) and the proper framebuffer modules.
