TV-Out as screen 1

I recently switched over from master to the randr-1.2 branch of
xf86-video-ati. Card is an M7 Mobility 7500, chip is R100 class.
The Xorg.0.log shows TV-Out detected, xrandr output includes:
,----( from xrandr -q --verbose )
| S-video disconnected (normal left inverted right)
| Identifier: 0x4e
| Timestamp: 1185544898
| Subpixel: no subpixels
| Clones:
| CRTCs: 0 1
| tv_standard: default
| tv_vertical_position: 0 (0x00000000) range: (-5,5)
| tv_horizontal_position: 0 (0x00000000) range: (-5,5)
| tv_horizontal_size: 0 (0x00000000) range: (-5,5)
`----
Presumably were I to carry it to a TV and connect it I could use xrandr
to redirect :0.0 output to the S-video port.
But I'd rather not do that to screen 0. I'd prefer to use DISPLAY=:0.1
for xine, mplayer, et al.
Do I just need to add another Screen section to my xorg.conf and
reference it in the ServerLayout section as screen 1?
And if so, what should it look like to specify the S-video port?
Also, I understand that it currently only supports an 800x600 display; I
presume that means that XVideo users will have to do software scaling to
that size rather than relying on the card, yes?
Thanks,
