I think actually I was going for 2 desktops. I was going to experiment

I actually did say they work one at a time. In fact, I can boot with the
AGP being what comes up in TTY, and then have X configured to kick in on
the other screen. I just can't get them to both work at the same time.

it's a single head Radeon, I didn't go in for the VE model.
I have 2 outputs, one on each card, it's initialising the 2nd card that
seems to crash the system.

Something that might need looking into (the x,y coordinates I mentioned
earlier):
Screen 0 "GC1" 0 0
Screen "GC2" LeftOf "GC1"

THe Savage might not know WHAT to display. Your x,y is 0,0; that's GC1
BUT your GC2 is to the *left* of GC1. Set GC1 to 1025,0 (because it's
the one on the RIGHT) with xinerama on and see what happens. At least
just for sh*ts and giggles. If nothing changes, help us out here by
posting the error messages (the ones marked EE, even the WW from the
/var/log/X output.
