nvidia legacy & normal driver installed at the same time?

Is there a way to have the nvidia and nvidia legacy driver installed at the same time? I'm running a debian testing system that has a dual monitor setup. I want to do some 3D modeling with the blender, but I need GLX.

Because I need GLX for blender, I can't do any 3D modeling. I know I could install the driver for one monitor and just use that one, but is there any way I can do it with both of them?

I xinerama is an option, I can live without it. I would enjoy having it though.

Apparently there is a TwinView mode that supports dual output.

Twinview only works with cards that have 2 outputs -- I am using 2 cards, therefor I need 2 separate drivers. It is my understanding that these 2 drivers cannot be installed at once, am I correct? Is there a dirty hack I can do to "fix" this?
