I guess you are right about dual display. Did anyone try this APC8750
board with Raspbian port on it ? I have one of those boards, but never
had a chance to go beyond its Android 2.3. 

Thanks :-)

I am not aware of any ARM cards which are dual display capable. Most ARM
(development) cards I have only have 1 HDMI connector (if any). If there
are more than 1 HDMI, only one is active.

I think if you want dual display, you are into the realm of real GPU
cards and an x86 box.
