If support for the usage of multiple ati cards is not planned we should at
least assert that SaX2 knows about this bug:
* If the user enters something like "SaX2 -m 0=ati,1=ati" a message like this
should be displayed:
"The ati driver does not support the usage of multiple graphics cards at once
(neither in Xinerama, nor in Multihead mode, nor by running two X Servers on
the same vt) and SaX2 can only be used to configure the AGP graphics card."

Unsuspecting users should be prevented from further harm like
* waste of time by unsuccessful configuration attempts
* system decay by crashes (f.e.: needed to press [Ctrl][Alt][\] after login in
runlevel 3 because the longin shell kept hanging)

Could you please give me a reference to the upstream bug (ATI driver)?
