1. Is there a way to get a truly Dual Mode. Meaning where I could open 
an xterm in one screen and *then* pass it to the other screen.



Yes, that's called Big Desktop mode, but there are some limitations.


But when I maximize my window it takes the two screens. Is this intended 
behavior ?


It's obviously not intended by you, but it's normal because Big Desktop
doesn't provide the Xinerama extension yet.


- I would like to pass a window from one screen to the other


FWIW, GTK2 basically has the capability to do this even with several
screens, but unfortunately it's not exposed in a very useful way yet.



What buffer size?


OpenGL buffer are generally limited to let say 2048x2048, and I wanted 
to check it.


You mean the hardware 3D rendering limit? That doesn't really have
anything to do with OpenGL.



Sure, either start it from a terminal on that screen 


nope...


If that doesn't work, your shell startup scripts probably override the
DISPLAY environment variable?
