[ltp] xorg.conf dual screens

[Eli Criffield]

I copied the radeon_drv.o from backup (Good thing i had that) from
suse9.3 and then my old config worked again.

Good enough for me.

BTW i'm not seeing anything in suse10 that deserves a hole number
increase, looks more like suse 9.4 to me, or even 9.2.1 (if they did
that).
