Interesting.  I never really read the docs properly, I just skimmed
them [= man radeon] and followed the instructions at
[http://ozlabs.org/~jk/docs/mergefb/], which worked just fine.

When I have the time, I'll take a look at your xorg.conf [and the man
page] and try to get things working.  [right now, I have a lot of work
to do and really need my second monitor.]
