Single adaptor, two heads.

I'm using ATI Radeon X300, but the setup was quite simple.  One monitor=20
section.  One device section.  One screen section.

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "X.org Configured"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "radeon"
        VendorName  "ATI Technologies Inc"
        BoardName   "Radeon X300"
        BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
        Option      "MergedFB" "true"
        Option      "CRT2Position" "RightOf"
EndSection
