Even, though the card has DB15 and DVI out, it is a single head card.
IMO, multi head config will not do.  I have a NVidia card with DB15 and
DVI out and here is how I got it to display on both ports.  I do not
take credit for the solution - found it thru Google search (don't recall
the search string).

Try the following lines at the end of your "Screen" section in
xorg.conf.

  Option "TwinView"
  # be sure to replace the HorizSync and VertRefresh with correct values
  # for your monitor!
  Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-82"
  Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "43-77"
  Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
  Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024,1280x1024; 1280x1024,1280x1024"
  Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP,CRT"
