Finally I found out that latest X.org can handle dual head without any
helpers.
For mirroring I use:

Section "Device"
        Driver      "i810"
        VendorName  "All"
        BoardName   "All"
        #Option     "sw_cursor"
        Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT,LFP"
        Option "Clone" "true"
        BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

BTW: It's well documented, you just have to find it ;-)
http://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R7.0/doc/html/i810.4.html
or simply use "man i810"
