I ran XFree86 -configure to generate my XF86Config-4 file and it added a lot of commented-out options, but none of them seemed like they would do the trick. I'm using the ati driver, and I couldn't find any specific ati notes on http://www.xfree86.org with XFree86 4.1. I guess I'll just be stuck with two monitors and only one display. Oh well.
