Great, now that works:
Section "Device"
Identifier "devDn"
Driver "radeon"
BusID "PCI:0:1:0"
Option "monitor-VGA-0" "monDn"
Option "ZaphodHeads" "VGA-0"
Screen 0
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "devUp"
Driver "radeon"
BusID "PCI:0:1:0"
Option "monitor-HDMI-0" "monUp"
Option "ZaphodHeads" "HDMI-0"
Screen 1
EndSection
Thank you. I have googled to ZaphodHeads option, but I got the feeling
it is is rather be used for some special purpose mode of multi-seat setup.
So cryptic naming of the options is hell.
Can I leave out the monitor-* options? In xorg.conf, I still have two
Screen objects where the monitors and devices are linked together... not
sure what is the correct way today.
