Assuming you have both adapters working but coming up as separate
displays, you may just need to enable Xinerama to combine them:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "Xinerama" "1"
EndSection
If that's not what you're after then you may need to specify more details.
Also consider posting to -questions rather than -x11 as the former has a
wider readership and is probably more appropriate for general howto
questions.
