Thanks a lot.
Have downloaded and tested it.
Unfortunately Xinerama didn't work there either.

It seems like it needs to be before version 6.5.7.1

Re: Old xf86-video-ati package.

From the CVS changelog, committed a few days ago:

* src/radeon_driver.c: (RADEONInitCrtcRegisters),
    (RADEONInitCrtc2Registers):
    Fix enabling of external VGA output on some cards with dual entity
    setup instead of MergedFB. This was broken due to bogus manipulations
    of a register between the 2 entities. This fix is a big "violent" in
    that it always enables the analog output regardless of what is
    plugged. It should work though (at the expense of some additional
    power consumption). A proper fix should be easy to do once Alex gets
    his output mapping rework in.

Which looks like the problem appears to be fixed in CVS. There's a new release released two days ago, it should contain the fix. I'll update it soon.
