I had various problems with dual-head on a Sapphire Radeon 9000
using plain 4.3.0. I advise you to pick up a recent snapshot (or
use current CVS, or current DRI CVS) since there have been many
improvements since 4.3.0 was released.
For what it's worth, I use snapshot 4.3.99.10 with the mergedfb
patch applied, and the attached XF86Config file, and this works
well for me with a Sapphire Radeon 9000 64MB and two Samsung
Syncmaster 152Ts, one connected by VGA, the other by DVI-D. As
an added bonus this also gives you accelerated 3D across both
heads.
