Well. I have found the official Xinerama-HOWTO to be the best doc for
manually setting up my XF86Config-4 for multihead. Last time I looked 
Xconfigurator itself didn't support multihead config creations. 
I am lucky in that I run a g400max dualhead card. Matrox provides 
a linux binary util called mgapdesk that provides a gui for point and 
click dualhead configuration. It works flawlessly but only for 
matrox cards. 
You dont really say where you are having issues or what happens when 
you startx? Have you viewed the log after starting X for clues?

More detail would be helpful. Another thing to be aware of when running 
multi vid card setups is that pci bus irq issues might be causing you
trouble. have a look at /proc/pci and try and make sure your vid cards 
aren't sharing irq's with other devices like nic or sndcards. This
caused me many problems when I was running 2 pci matrox mystique cards.
That was my first setup when XFree first supported the Xinerama
extension. 


Hope this is helpful. 
Phil,
