А на деле для 9200 нужен _один_ BusID для обоих устройств...
кажется, vsu@ это как-то рассказывал -- что второе там на PCI
в качестве объезда кривизны Windows(TM).

Эх... за приложенные костыли мне изрядно стыдно (даже в git.alt
не клал в надежде понять текущую схему с автонастройкой, к чему
вот недавно только подошёл по мотивам разборок около fglrx).
Но для случая "завести попавшееся железо в 2D, если это ATI --
с дуалхедом на :0.0 и :0.1" (по условиям задачи) оно работает.

Пояснения:

- xorg.conf.ati9200 -- то, с чем оно по факту работает
  (в болванке vesa)

- /usr/bin/x11updatedrv -- текущая внутренняя версия того,
  что опубликовано здесь:
  http://git.altlinux.org/people/mike/packages/?p=x11updatedrv.git;a=blob;f=x11updatedrv/x11updatedrv.sh;hb=HEAD

- /usr/bin/startxheads -- обёртка вокруг startx, выбирающая
  нужный ServerLayout.

:0 и :1 мне не были нужны, но на этих двух вполне работают
программы от разных пользователей, что и требуется.  Разные
dm, насколько понимаю, не заведутся.

PS: для того, чтобы поднять два монитора, они действительно
должны быть воткнуты при включении, как и упоминали.
