What I did recently was to find someone else's config on the Internet 
(for my GeForce 6200 dual head setup), go to runlevel 3, and ...
repeat
    vi xorg.conf
    startx
    <ctrl><alt><backspace>
    backup mostly working xorg.conf configs
until it looked right.

No tool I had would set up the dual display on that card so I stood on
the shoulders of those greater than me to get mine set up.

If anyone is using nvidia chips and dual head, I'll share my xorg.conf.
