I have a similar problem on my setup, but I am not trying to set up a 
multihead configuration. Rather, I wanted to start up a secondary video 
card in order to write a proper driver for it.

My primary chipset is a ProSavageDDR-K (handled by savage_drv.so) at 
PCI:1:0:0. As an exercise, I want to write a driver for an Oak Spitfire 
OTI64111 PCI video card, which is plugged on the same machine that has 
the savage chipset. The oti64111 card (at PCI:0:9:0) can be handled 
correctly with the vesa driver, and I have been using it to set up the 
card so I can peek into the graphics registers. In Fedora 8, I used the 
configuration file attached to this message in order to initialize the 
oti64111. This had the effect of blanking the screen attached to the 
savage chipset, and then booting the oak64111 BIOS and showing the 
familiar X cursor with the patterned background. Although a little 
problematic, I could switch back and forth between the two running X 
servers.

Under Fedora 10, an attempt to use the same method results in a hung 
machine. Now I have to reboot and select the BIOS option "Primary 
graphics card: (PCI/AGP)" and select AGP for the savage chipset (the 
normal setting) or PCI for the oak64111. Maybe this is of some help in 
solving the problem.
