I don't really understand what you are targeting at with the rest, but there is
absolutely no need to restart the app_server when you install a new graphics
driver; for the app_server, there is virtually no difference between that, and
changing the screen resolution.
In the same sense, the app_server is certainly multi-head capable -- just the
current accelerant API is not. It's a matter of replacing that one, the
app_server already supports arbitrary HWInterface implementations (as Michael's
network implementation shows).
Bye,
