Hi,
I am fighting since a few days with correct xorg.conf setup for two monitors on one video card from 3Dlabs. So far with no success... All I can get is the same screen on both monitors even if I leave the second monitor and screen unconfigured in xorg.conf. Whenever I go to Administration->Display and turn the Dual Head on X crashes after restart with Fatal Server Error: Requested Entity already in use.
My video card is:
3DLabs Wildcat VP990 Pro 512 MB running on VESA driver in FC6 (is there a better one perhaps? I have no idea).
Monitors:
Dell FP1905 and IBM 9494
Below a copy of my xorg.conf that should work however it fails.
Code:

Please if you have any ideas how to make Dual Head to work as Spanning Desktop post it here. Thanks for help.
