To add to this, we'd probably need to add a keyword 'Monitor' into
the Device Section, and be able to do something like this....
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
VendorName "Vendor"
BoardName "RADEON 8500"
Monitor "Monitor0,Monitor1"
Driver "radeon"
EndSection
Then the driver can see that Monitor0 is primary and Monitor1 is secondary
and so on.
