I'm doing that with an IOGear USB KVM, two desktops, a laptop and a
dangling cable for a "visitor".

Again, look at VNC. It'll do this with the mouse.

K-V-M = Keyboard-Video-Mouse

Yes, VNC does a similar thing, only using the network to transfer
the 'K' and 'M' parts from one machine to the other, based n where
the 'M' is. I have three heads on my desk, my laptop display and a
20" (21"?) LCD hooked to the laptop and a 21" CRT hanging on an
RS6000. The KVM switch didn't work so VNC is my solution (after I
get some high-priority stuff done this week).

I am considering going the dual-head video... schematic on one
monitor, Probe simulation results on the other.

Trust me, you'll never go back to a single display! I've had dual-head
on my laptop at work for five years. I just got a 21" LCD monitor and,
WOW! I'm now pissed because I can't get it to work at home with SuSE
10.0 (was a piece of cake on 9.0).

What brand of monitor?

The second display is an IBM G94, primary is a ViewSonic P95f. The
problem is that the second display tab doesn't show in sax2. Once
I get the tab to show, the displays are listed.

And what brand of dual output video card?

Matrox G550.

I found at least part of an answer doing a web search, but it still
doesn't want to work. Apparently the SuSE developers don't like the
Matrox driver so disabled dual-head mode in the 10.0 distribution.

I did the above to force sax2 to show the tab for the second
display, but somehow the multiple head mode (whatever they call it)
is still broke. I didn't have a lot of time to play last night
though.
