xorg.conf

I've managed to get kms working on my machine. Unfortunately the dual-head
setup does not work as with user modesetting:

* both of the monitors are set up at the same resolution, not at their native
ones. I can fix this manually with xrandr (and the kernel framebuffer drives
both displays at native resolutions, so I get flicker on one display when
switching between X and the linux console).

$ xrandr (with kms)

   640x480        75.0     60.0
   720x400        70.1

Note that DVI-1 is not at the native resolution.

Furthermore, when I set up DVI-0 right of DVI-1 (like above), there is no mouse
cursor visible on DVI-0. Strangely it works in clone mode (ie. when DVI-0 is at
1280x1024+0+0). I'll attach Xorg.log and xorg.conf.
