[ale] Multi-headed X using on-board video

I have one of those Tyan Thunder dual-processor Athlon motherboards at
work with the on-board ATI Rage XL video card. Normally its disabled and
I use a GeForce 2 MX 200 card. This setup performs great but I'm
getting the urge to go multi-headed at work like I am at home :)

I enabled the onboard video (which according to the motherboad manual
has no effect on the actual AGPpro slot that I'm using for the Geforce
card) and then used "xf86cfg -xf86config /etc/X11/XF86Config-4" to
generate a reasonable config file.

However, when I do a "startx" the only card that is actually detected is
the nvidia card. The actual output is included for those inclined to
peruse it.

Thanks
