The configuration may be a bit complex, but may allow more people to use it.

Using the xorg dummy driver
xorgs ships with a dummy driver which is designed to be used for headless servers that export a graphical interface via VNC. It is in principle possible to set up a dummy device alongside a real device by adding a dummy device and xinerama configuration to xorg. It is tricky to have this configuration working properly, and it is not ideal for laptops, as you won't be able to hotplug monitors).
