Both 1.4.7 (the one in unstable) and 1.9.99 (the one in experimental)
are built against Xserver 1.4 currently in unstable. So you'll to
upgrade to xserver-xorg-core (and also xserver-xorg-input-*) from unstable.

With a default xorg.conf (or even no xorg.conf at all), the server
should start and be able to use multiple outputs (I guess 2 of them
should be enabled by default). xrandr can then be used to
query/disable/resize/enable/move all available outputs at runtime. The
only thing required in xorg.conf could be a "Virtual" line in subsection
display (to get a large virtual screen where your multiple outputs will
able to be placed).
