[Xorg] need help to get dual view

Hello,

sorry, perhaps my question was a little bit unclear.

I know that dual-view is not working when I want to use the dvi/tv from
the nvidia-card, that's a nvidia-related-problem.

But It already has to work, when I use dual view with two independent
cards, because that's an X-feature, isn't it?

The tv-card got an own tv-output, and it'll work when I use it alone. 
But when I specify two screens in the serverlayout-section, only one
(the lcd) will work, the other remains black.

greetings Andreas

p.s.
sorry for my poor english :(
