Known Limitations
	- No support for "zaphod mode" dualhead. This is the
mode in which two Device sections are placed in the config file, and
doesn't support DRI or many other features. Instead, only "MergedFB-style"
dualhead is supported.

I think you'll need to go back to the i810 driver, which may be
difficult. (Or not; if X.org still supports it, then it won't be
hard.)
