'k, looks simple enough ... but doesn't seem to work ... if I uncomment Screen1:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "XFree86 Configured"
        Screen          "Screen0"
#       Screen          "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0"
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"

        Option "xinerama" "on"
        Option "clone" "off"
EndSection

Fatal server error:
Requested Entity already in use!

So, my first question, which might be one that should be obvious ... will this 
work if I don't have the nvidia kernel module loaded?  Or is that irrelevant?

I just tried using pciconf -l to see the devices, and only see the one 
PCI/nvidia device ... and the sample at the wiki shows them using the same PCI 
device for both Device entries ... so how does it know one from the other?

Thanks ...
