ok, it was a problem of jumpers on the motherboard. i am now able to start an X-server on the left card using "X -layout LeftMonitor" , then i start an x-server on the right monitor using "X :1 -layout RightMonitor"
the problem is: if i press ctrl-alt-f7 i see only the left monitor. if i press ctrl-alt-f8 i see only the right monitor. is there a way to make them both work at the same time ?
