Only one Xorg can be started on each PCI entity. You can not start two Xorg servers on your intel HD 4400.

Use Xephyr/Xnest to start on each head.. You can get more info with googling "Multiseat Linux".

If you want independent screens, not the independent displays, use zaphod mode, so that you can get :0.0 and :0.1.
You need to add once more Screen in the serverlayout section;

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "default"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        Screen      1  "Screen1" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Greetings -

For the past few days I've been trying to configure what used to be the default behavior (a separate X server for each connected physical monitor). It would be even better if the mouse were constrained to one of those displays (don't really care which).

I'm working on this configuration in a Scientific Linux 6.5 system on an Intel i3-4170 CPU with integrated Intel HD Graphics 4400 (device 041e in lspci).

The issue is that, apparently no matter how I configure things, I cannot get any given X screen to not slurp up both attached monitors.

The current (mess of) xorg.conf I'm trying is (leaving out the input device definitions etc):

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "default"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "secondary"
        Screen      1  "Screen1" 1280 0
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "VGA1"
        Option       "PreferredMode"    "1280x1024"
        Option       "Position"         "0 0"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "HDMI1"
        Option       "PreferredMode"    "1280x1024"
        Option       "Position"         "1280 0"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "intel"
        BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
        Screen      0
        Option      "Monitor-HDMI1"     "HDMI1"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Card1"
        Driver      "intel"
        BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
        Screen      1
        Option      "Monitor-VGA1"      "VGA1"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "HDMI1"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen1"
        Device     "Card1"
        Monitor    "VGA1"
EndSection


I've tried many other permutations of an xorg.conf and I just can't get it to not attach both screens to :0.

I want one Xserver running on :0 and another on :1, with one monitor attached to each screen.

Can anyone point me in the right direction and/or tell me what I'm doing wrong with the above config?
