Right now I need xorg.conf for these things on my desktop Radeon X600 
and also my i965 laptop chip:

Option      "AccelMethod" "EXA"

So XVideo works and Render accel works.

Virtual 3200 1600

So dual-head actually has somewhere to put the second head :-)

Various options for touchpad, so I can tap-to-click and drag.

Oh, and per-user dual-head/Xinerama configuration doesn't seem to work 
so well when the window manager or session manager loads before the 
dual-head is configured, resulting in all your icons, applications, 
and gnome-panels being restored overlapped on a single-head.

But you probably knew about all these problems already...If you'd like 
bugs filed, let me know.
