How do I do this? I can't seem to find a suitable option in radeon.man.
You're not talking about DefaultConnectorTable, are you? I am now using a
single screen initial ServerLayout as Bernard suggested, however to no 
avail.

But the real problem is that the VGA consistenly remains dark, even if
enabled via xrandr. Do you have a hint for this problem? Without this, 
the driver is unusable in a dual head setup. :-(
