In your config file have two layouts, one using each driver,
then either run
startx -- :0 vt07 -layout "ati_layout"
and
startx -- :1 vt08 -layout "vesa_layout"
or put both lines:
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt07 -layout "ati_layout"
:1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt08 -layout "vesa_layout"
into /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers
I've never tried the later, and you may need some delay - starting two
servers at the same time may confuse the servers or the card.

Not an X question - probably a linux (kernel) question.
