Okay, this is strange (but welcome). I have a docking station at work
and an external monitor. It works great with dual monitors. Unlike
with intrepid I have it actually doing xinerama correctly, something I
never got working before.
I just used aticonfig to create the config and it worked the first
time. I get the desired resolution and everything. Here's the
command I used: aticonfig -i xorg.conf -o xorg.conf
--initial=dual-head --screen-layout=right --xinerama=on
Here's my dual screen xorg.conf:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "aticonfig Layout"
Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
Screen "aticonfig-Screen[0]-1" RightOf "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"

I hope that helps someone,
