i'm trying to kick the nvidia habit on  my desktops, so i'm using nouveau, but 
the simplest xorg.conf i have is:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "Default Layout"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "DVI-I-0"
        Option       "LeftOf" "VGA-0"
        Option       "PreferredMode" "1680x1050"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "VGA-0"
        Option       "PreferredMode" "1280x1024"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Device0"
        Driver      "nouveau"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Device0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     24
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
        Option      "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection

And it works like a charm and givesme two separate workspaces in KDE.  -A
