You can find most of the details here
There are two files you need to look at. The /etc/X11/xorg.conf and the appropriate file depending on your desktop manager (Gnome, KDE, etc.)
If you are trying to multiseat from one graphics card, it will be a different process and as far as I know, possible with extra software, but more difficult. It looks like you are using two different video cards so you should be safe.
Configuring the DE (Desktop environment) files are fairly easy and you can find the instructions on the link above. For the xorg, you will need to do most of the details yourself. Read over this page. The idea is to link your Screens, Inputs, Monitors, Device, etc. to the appropriate ServerLayout set in your DE config file.
Have fun and good luck!
