the driver is failing to detect the monitor on crtc2:
(II) RADEON(0): Displays Detected: Monitor1--Type 1, Monitor2--Type 0

you need to add this option:
Option "monitorlayout" "crt, crt"
to the device section of your config.  unfortunately I'm not sure if
4.3.0 had this option.  I think it was added later.  newer redhat rpm's
may have added it, but I'm not sure.  If you can find cvs binaries
somewhere that would be your best bet.  I can provide you a link to
binaries I've made, but they are heavily patched and based on newer cvs
code.  I'm not sure if they will work with 4.3.0 or not.

just grab ati_drv.o, radeon_drv.o, and XFree86.  back up your old
copies before you add these.
