Looks right. But you have to specify the framebuffer device for the secondary
card as well, and you only have to start one server.

If my suggestion doesn't work, the log(s) (/var/log/XFree86.[01].log) may be
helpful.


I suggest the following XF86Config:

This assumes that fb0 is on the AGP card and that its monitor is on the left
side.


Now to get some extra candy, start the server with the +Xinerama option and it
will combine both screens as if they were one big one! :)


Hope it works,

Michel
