Anything odd in your log?  perhaps the heads are not detected
properly.  What sort of outputs does it have? vga? dvi? you may need
to force the outputs using the "monitorlayout" option if they are not
detected properly.
e.g., for two crts use:
Option "monitorlayout" "crt,crt"
for dvi plus crt:
Option "monitorlayout" "crt,crt"

See the radeon man page for more.
