When you say "reasonable config file" does that include a device section
for each card? Do both cards show up in /proc/pci? See the section I have
noted below in your output. I think your "reasonable config file" may be
incomplete.

hmm, it looks like your XF86Config file may not have have a BusID line
for each device secion (you have to have a device section for each
video card).
Something like:
Section "Device"
# The Identifier must be present.
Identifier "NeoMagic1"
VendorName "Neomagic"
BoardName "128i"
Option "intern_disp"
BusID "PCI:0:8:0"
Driver "neomagic"
EndSection
