Not true, X11 already has the concepts of multiple screens or frame
buffers.

If the server itself does not support multiple screens you can run more
than one server, each controlling a different screen/framebuffer. (Up to
a maximum of 10).
With the multiple server approach you can even have different GUI's in
each screen. Motif, TWM, OpenLook, etc. can all be running concurrently
on one box.
