Which would be the expected behaviour when you have two screens pointing
at one device.

I upgraded Xorg yesterday on a box that utilises the i810 driver for a
i915G chipset and I have lost X completely on that machine. It is
located at work, so over the weekend I can not test it or work on fixing
it. I am using Dapper, and I can not remember if you have said which
release you have.

This last snippet of your xorg.conf is how it should be set up, and
should give you what you want. That X crashes is not good, and could
(not saying it is) be down to a problem with the i810 driver.

Has anyone else noticed problems with that driver since Friday mid day?
