[Xorg] Pixmap 24/32 on dual videocard system

I run X.org 6.7.0-5 with two videocards (AGP nvidia and an old PCI SiS)
in my system. I used to run XFree86 on my system and those two
videocards worked fine. Then I switched to X.org, but ever since I don't
seem to be able to get both cards working simultaneously in X.
I have this in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "Pixmap" "32"
EndSection
When the Pixmap option is set to 32 and I start X only the monitor
attached to my nvidia card comes up. In /var/log/Xorg.0.log I find the
following error:
(EE) SIS(1): Driver can't support depth 24 pixmap format (32)
(EE) SIS(1): **************************************************
(EE) SIS(1): ERROR:
(EE) SIS(1): xf86SetDepthBpp() error
(EE) SIS(1): END OF MESSAGE
(EE) SIS(1): **************************************************
However, when I change the Pixmap option to 24 only the monitor
connected to my SiS card works and /var/log/Xorg.0.log reads:
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Driver can't support depth 24 pixmap format (24)
(Doesn't matter if I use the X.org nv driver or nvidia's binary release).
My question is: is there a way to get both working under X.org? Can I
specify different pixmap values for each card? If so, how? Any other
suggestions?
Thanks,
Nils.
