dual head with 2 graphic cards issue



sorry if i post this msg twice but i'm not sure that it was successfully sended first time...

Hello everybody,

i'm trying to use my computer with 2 monitors connected on 2 different graphic cards.

My first graphic card is an ATI Radeon 9250 (AGP) and the second one is a Matrox Mystique PCI (mga1064sg) I can use them separately by choosing one of them as "Display init first" in the BIOS menu.

when i try to use them both :
- if the ATI is the principal device, my system crashes with a black screen on the ATI-connected monitor and the wakeup message on the other monitor (something like (c)Matrox accelerated graphics ...). i cannot even ctrl+alt+backspace. the strangest thing is that i cannot find any error messages in the Xorg.log ! - if the MATROX is the principal device, X starts but only on the matrox-connected monitor, the other one showing the ATI wakeup message and Xorg.log with those lines :
(EE) fglrx(0): CAIL: CAILNoBiosInitializeAdapter failed, error 1
(EE) fglrx(0): GetBIOSParameter failed
(EE) fglrx(0): PreInitConfig failed
(EE) fglrx(0): R200PreInit failed
(II) fglrx(0): === [R200PreInit] === end

i use debian sid and ATI non-free drivers (stanchina packages)
i've already tried to disable the DRI section of my xorg.conf

So if anyone has any idea please help me !!!

thanks a lot for reading until the end ;o)

here is my xorg.conf :
