Please specify your scenario.=20 Anyway, try to look in /etc/gdm, /etc/init.d/xdm, /etc/X11 (there can be specified which server start in file xdm/Xservers) I have DL adapter connected to my docking station and a simple script to activate the second xserver on docking and deactivate that when undocking. I simply run here second desktop using x2x. I just use that primary for web browser, so I dont need xinerama. You can also use DL with your primary card and xinerama. But it needs specific xorg.conf and needs to be connected when xserver starting. So nothing suitable for notebook and hotplug. Robert.
