In any case, I'm not sure why you took the approach you did. My solution would have required fewer changes and no driver-specific option. I figured I'd better put my money where my mouth is so I resolved the aforementioned problem about Screen0 being passed twice and completed the patch. I've uploaded it to bug #24523. It assumes that commit 579cdcf9b4e38c791a497b747a055fc0a07d8dd6 has already been reverted. Please take a look. Thanks.

Both screens work now but the larger screen starts with 1280x720 instead of the maximum 1920x1080. Of course I can change this but this does indicate that something still isn't working properly. This doesn't happen with my patch and I highly suspect that it's because Screen0 is still being passed twice. I don't wish to be a pain but I'd rather see this done properly. Could you please comment on my patch and why you think your approach was better? While mine is not a big patch, I hadn't ever hacked X before so it took a lot of time and effort.

I'm not sure what is driver-specific about my approach. Do you mean the "Screen 0" and "Screen 1" entries in the config? That's pretty standard, isn't it? It's in the xorg.conf man page.
