It depends on your card. In some cases, the DVI and analog ports are just alternate output formats for the same image. In other cases, the card supports seperate display surfaces on each output.

What card do you have?

I would guess, though, that the answer is "no". Generally, a card that supports DVI and supports dual screens will have at least 3 connectors - DVI and analog for the first screen, and analog for the second.

If you have only two connectors - one analog and one DVI - they are most likely there just to be able to connect to a single screen using either an analog or DVI connection.

Other cards will have both analog and DVI for both screens. Some may even have analog for a third screen.
