I am not sure people are working on what you want nowadays. It looks
like XRandR 1.2 (i.e. improved Xinerama) will rule the world. However,
XRandR may provides almost what you want if the window manager does his
job, I mean the WM could be able to emulate 2x more desktops inside same
number of "2 x bigger" desktop.

What board do you have? I see "Virtual 2560 1024" in your config, but
only i965 can do DRI on more than 2048x2048 currently (the hardware is
limited to 11bits for each direction). So you might want to change to
"2048 2048" and place one screen above the other one.

I guess that's expected. xrandr --output VGA --left-of LVDS is the way
to do it now. Having two Monitor/Screen is probably ignores (assuming it
doesn't even crash right now...). I don't know if having two
ServerLayout sections is supposed to do something.
