Yah, he should use the patches, radeonfb doesn't do dual head properly
(nor mirroring). The fbdev interface isn't very good for dual head, it
lacks a way for userland to know which of the /dev/fb devices are "tied"
together among other things, so I haven't bothered implementing it yet,
it would just confuse the X server.
