| Essentially, you need to setup your XF86Config/xorg.conf file with two Device sections, one for each graphics card, and then two Screen sections, with one using each Device. Then edit your ServerLayout section to use more than one screen. |

| Well, one way would be to run xf86config, answering questions for one card, then move the resulting file out of the way, then re-run it, answering questions for the other card. Then you can take the first config file, and copy in the relevant sections from the other. |
