It does? It's always seemed quite simple to me...

- run xf86cfg to configure both cards and monitors separately
- add this block:
    Section "ServerFlags"
      Option "Xinerama"
    EndSection
- make sure "ServerLayout" exists and has something to the effect

    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    Screen      1  "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0"
