Dualhead on Radeon is totally broken in 4.3.0 stock due to a bug 
in the radeon driver which didn't get noticed/fixed prior to 
release.  If you use dualhead, when the mouse crosses from one 
head to another, the 2nd head will shutdown.  That bug is fixed 
in the XFree86 4.3 (xf-4_3-branch) stable branch, CVS head, and 
most Linux distribution's 4.3.0 builds.

Another option which is generally useful for dualhead is:

	Monitorlayout "CRT" "CRT"

Hope this helps.
