Two xserver sessions with xf86-video-ati

Hi,

I recently bought a ati radeon 3450hd and using it with the  xf86-video-ati driver.

My previous setup with a Nvidia card was two seperate xserver sessions running on my monitor (connected via DVI) and on my TV (connected via HDMI). This was very handy because I could direct my mplayer to play videos on my TV with DISPLAY:=0.1 mplayer -fs somevid.avi flawlessly.

Does anyone use the same configuration with xf86-video-ati driver and could post his or her xorg.conf? Up to now im only able to access the TV with xrandr, i.e. boosting my whole desktop to 1920x1080 resulting in my main monitor (which is 1280x1024) to show only a subset of the screen.

With help of the catalyst driver and the amdcccle utility I was able to build this setup with the proprietary driver, but the fullscreen performance of movies sucked, so i dropped it. Unfornately, the newly created catalyst-xorg.conf didn't do the job with the reinstalled xf86-video-ati driver.
