Just remember that the "Identifier" statement is just that, a *unique*
Identifier. If you label both devices with the same Identifier, you will
run in to problems even if you tell one to be Screen 0 and the other
Screen 1.

Also, if you rename an entry, i.e. change the Identifier, you need to
look through the xorg.conf for the other instances where it was
referenced. In this case, you need to make sure you only change the
relevant entries, and not all of them.

HTH,
