Doesn't have to be - maybe it's one VGA and one DVI output? It's also
possible that a DVI output can be controlled via the chipset used,
but isn't present as an actual connector.

My good (really!) old ATI Radeon 9200 shows up similarly:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Card0"
        Driver          "ati"
        VendorName      "ATI Technologies Inc"
        BoardName       "Radeon RV250 If [Radeon 9000]"
        BusID           "PCI:1:0:0"
        Screen          0
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Card1"
        Driver          "ati"
        VendorName      "ATI Technologies Inc"
        BoardName       "Radeon RV250 If [Radeon 9000] (Secondary)"
        BusID           "PCI:1:0:1"
        Screen          1
EndSection

Note the different BusID. A similar mentioning should happen in
/var/log/Xorg.0.log.
