On my system, at least at the time i was fighting it (~2021), it didn't seem to behave well when dealing with two cards, so I had to help it along. But basically I needed to add a section like this for both my cards: Section "Device" Identifier "oland1" Driver "radeon" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Option "DisplayPort-1" "Monitor1" Option "DVI-1" "Monitor2" EndSection In my case, I was associating the BusIDs of the two cards with identifiers. I don't know if you'll need to worry about Screen sections if you've helped it by picking out the card and associating it with the right driver. In my case, I have extra stuff in there to help it with extra screens and monitors, with was was part of my bigger than just getting one card to work fight.
