An important thing to mention is that with laptops, one of the video cards (often the integrated one) is hardwired to the built-in display. This restricts what you can physically do.

both display adapters are built in to the MOBO
the Mobile Intel GMA X3100 is built in to the system chip set
I did put screen0 (the built in display)on the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 in xorg.conf instead of the frame buffer
the result is a much sharper image and better looking full screen flash
and a higher resolution
I tried putting screen 1 & 2 on the GMA X3100 and ended up with trash on the HDMI tv
