Though, it may be interesting to understand why "traditional" dual-head
doesn't work anymore with radeons.
I have a 9200 which also seem to only be able to use mergedfb with
X.Org, and I've one report of a OpenBSD user who was using traditional
multi-head on XFree86 4.4 with a radeon 7000, but cannot get it working
with X.Org 6.8.1.
