All Radeon hardware will show up in lspci (or scanpci) as having 2 PCI IDs,
and 2 BUS IDs.  This is completely normal.  The second ID of each should
be completely ignored.  They are only present for use by Microsoft Windows
drivers aparently.  Linux/X does not use them at all.

I suspect that this issue is not a bug, but much more likely to be a
misconfiguration issue.  There are people using Radeon hardware in dualhead
configurations with Xinerama enabled in Fedora Core 2.  Our configuration
tool which configures this however, has been known to generate incorrect
configurations.  I do not know if your specific configuration is buggy or
not however.

In all X server related bug reports, regardless of issue, you should always
attach your X server config file, the X server log file, and if the server
crashes or system locks, reboots, etc. also include /var/log/messages since
the last reboot, so all kernel interaction is visible.  Also, the output
of lsmod is useful.

I have an example working Radeon+Xinerama config file somewhere on my
people.redhat.com ftp space which you might want to try also.

Once your information is attached, someone can review it to determine if
it is a bug or just misconfiguration, however in the mean time I also
recommend posting the same above info to an xorg mailing list to widen
visibility as someone else may be able to respond faster to confirm if it
is just misconfiguration.

If it turns out to be misconfiguration, and it was configured by the
Red Hat system-config-display, then we can bugzilla-nag ourselves for
that.  ;o)

Hope this helps.
