Two grakas, three displays… and X.org >.<'

Hi folks
This one looks easy… X.org should just detect it, right?

dizzy-6:/home/leviathan # lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT200b [GeForce GTX 275] (rev a1)
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Caicos [Radeon HD 6450/7450/8450]

Well… It didn’t. It had to tinker a whole day until I got the right xorg.conf
I figured I share it with you:
