Yup, I have a Radeon VE that I have had as a dual monitor setup from
time to time. Ive never quite done it like your doing, but I think it
should work. The driver your going to want to use is the radeon
driver. I assume you are going to be using Woody/stable so you will
have xfree86 4.1. I am not sure what options 4.1 supports, but if you
were go to xfree86.org (http://www.xfree86.org/4.3.0/radeon.4.html) you
would be able to find the radeon man page for 4.3. That should give you
an idea on what options to use. You may also want to look into gatos.
If you go to apt-get.org you can find gatos debs. Oh, and welcome to
Debian.
