This looks like a configuration problem - although you've got two screen sections set up, they're not referenced by any ServerLayout section. In this case, the X server considers only the first Screen section encountered to be active.
I think that adding the following ServerLayout section will light up the SiS usb device, but I haven't tested it.
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Dual head layout"
Screen "Screen0"
Screen "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0"
EndSection
