I've been testing this with my i915GM, a 1400x1050 laptop monitor and external 
1680x1050 LCD, for a dual head setup. Last log and xorg.conf is put up in

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10098

where I've also detailed some more of the results. Since I'm not getting 
output on both, I suspect that I still got some config options wrong for what 
I want to do, the log seems to think everything is ok. Note that I 
occasionally have gotten too little ram errors, which is the reason for the 
high value there (got the error once with half the amount).

Note that I'm trying this branch as 915resolution + i810 only works for one of 
my two available external LCD's.
