I don't care to add more complaints or quarrels on a list, just remember open source is free and as is, so don't bash here. With that said and done, if you would have said you needed help getting dual head support up front I could be of more help. Why don't you try reposting with adequate information like the kernel version (if Linux), X version and a copy of you XF86Config file, etc. You could also explain your successes and problems with your current configuration. That should be enough to get some help and have you on your way to enjoying dual head support.
