and here i am not sure if i really need to write anything about second 
gpu in xorg.conf


so, this all working fine and now i want to offload rendering to second 
gpu, for testing, for load balancing (first gpu have much greater 
temperature than second), so i starting to configure via xrandr, and 
stuck on first command:
  xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 1
Provider 0: id: 0x58 cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source 
Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 6 outputs: 3 associated providers: 0 
name:radeon


P.S. sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language
