I believe that means the isolatedevice stuff aren't working properly.
Are you using "isolatedevice" for _both_ your xservers, or only for
one of them?  One xserver without isolatedevice may stop all
others, so each xserver must have the isolatedevice stuff set up
properly.

The problem here is probably that the second xserver tries to program
the video frequencies, but unfortunately it programs the wrong card.
Xfree was originally written with a single card in mind, the ability to
use several is not yet properly implemented. You can probably
work around that by adjusting the monitor (new monitors tend to
have an auto-adjust button even) or by running the two xservers
with exactly the same resolution and frequencies.

Also an option, of course.
