Currently I'm running xorg-x11-6.9-0.cvs20050901.1mdk, same problem with 
Xinerama, G550, and dual 1024x768 screens; I would like to point to another 
workaround I'm using to wake up second head:

Xorg -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf.clone

where /etc/X11/xorg.conf.clone is a config file for a plain single-head 
1024x768.

I don't use fb console, and system boots up with one monitor blank. After X 
starts in clone/single-head mode, it wakes up second monitor and I do 
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. From this moment linux text console is cloned on both 
monitors (second wakes up), and Xinerama works OK.
