Proposed patch

Not sure if this is intended or not, but the man page for the "intel" driver describes the option ZaphodHeads as follow:

       Option "ZaphodHeads" "string"

              Specify the randr output(s) to use  with  zaphod  mode
              for  a particular driver instance.  If you this option
              you must use it with all instances of the driver
              For example: Option  "ZaphodHeads"  "LVDS1,VGA1"  will
              assign  xrandr outputs LVDS1 and VGA0 to this instance
              of the driver.

I suspect the example should read "assign xrandr outputs LVDS1 and VGA1 to this instance [...]" as the option is "ZaphodHeads"  "LVDS1,VGA1" (and not VGA0)

Also there is a verb missing in the sentence "If you this option you must use it with all instances [...]"

Attaching a trivial patch to address those two trivial issues.
