Some olders XFree86 drivers will not support multiheading,
multiple adapters.
Please try hackvideo, secondary method of xf86 starting
without prefbusid

I never tried ATI hardware. May be any other tried ATI Rage ?

ATI mach 64 +  ATI mach 64 will not work.
At least may work two head system - Nvidia AGP + ATI,
where "nvidia"  closed source driver used. www.nvidia.com

If You cannot start it , then i add ATI rage 128 as incompatible
video adapters to prevent others use them.
