[x86_64] dual head configuration doesn't work for the nvidia driver (?)

[Dave]

Peter,

I've included my dual head nvidia XF86Config below your message. A quick
google search shows this error is not uncommon to dual heads but on
different platforms.

I am not yet running x86_64 (running FC1 x86) but it would be important
to me to know if dual heads work or not.

Please be sure to update the thread on your progress.

Thanks,
Dave
