Take a look at the Oxygen driver page, the release notes for the 2.15-0614 driver state that they have multimon OpenGL, but you'll have to use the same display resolution and colordepth on both monitors.
Note that I haven't tested this myself.

Your best bet is a second VX1, you can get it from the 3Dlabs online store. You may get OpenGL on both monitors with a different card, but it is highly unlikely.
If you get it working, please let me know.
Good luck,

I tried it with an old (Diamond Monster Fusion - 3dfx banshee chipset)
