This sounds like a bug which has been fixed in more recent versions of XFree86
(but which is not yet in an actual release).

If you're happy with building and installing from source, try the development
snapshot at http://the.earth.li/XFree86/develsnaps/ (use a local mirror). I
have a feeling this will work for you. I'm using a dual-head Radeon 9000 with
snapshot 4.3.99.10, which works well.

Alternatively, I think that ready-built radeon drivers which you could drop in
on top of your 4.3.0 installation are available from some places on the net
(but I don't remember where, since I always just build from source, to get
mergedfb (which allows DRI to run on multi-head on Radeon. See:
http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=276 ...)).

HTH,
