Dual monitor, Intel 82915G & nVidia RIVA TNT2 Model 64 card, FC6, Dell Optiplex Gx520

I want to setup dual monitor for the Dell Optiplex Gx520 computer.
The motherboard has an Intel Corporation 82915G Integrated Graphics
Controller.
Then I add an nVidia Corporation NV5M64 RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro video card.
The dual monitor work on Windows 2000 with the Intel chip as the
primary screen and the nVidia chip as the secondary screen.
Therefore no problem with the hw.

However, dual monitor does not work on the Fedora core 6 (I cannot use
FC10).
The nVidia chip is working but the Intel chip do not work (moving the
mouse do not go to that monitor and no image is displayed on the
monitor).

I configure dual monitor by using the "System, Display, Setting" menu
and clicking the "dual head" checkbox, then restart X server.
/etc/X11/xorg.conf is as follows:
# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display
# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display
