On my (desktop) ge-force 4 card, the X config looks like so:
#########
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA GeForce4 0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "TI4600"
BusID "PCI:1:5:0"
Option "UseInt10Module" "on"
Screen 0
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA GeForce4 1"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "TI4600"
BusID "PCI:1:5:0"
Screen 1
EndSection
#########
According to XF86Config-4, the "Screen" value is mandatory for cards
that can drive more than one display. The BusID entries are because
I'm using a second card for the third head.
IIRC, the matrox cards are setup slightly differently, but it's been too
long since I've messed with those.
