Okay. So I assume that means the second head needs to be connected when
X starts, for it to be recognized? Is it possible to restart X to detect
the new screen, without killing all the running applications on the
existing screen?

Seems to me that this basically happens during a
suspend/hibernate--which I still don't have working...
