Have a look at:
http://www.xfree.org/4.3.0/radeon.4.html
for descriptions od the options you can use. Specifically have a play
with Option "CloneDisplay"
And also
http://www.xfree.org/4.3.0/radeon.4.html
which as options for monitor layout, etc...
I will track down a working config and pass that over to you.
Have fun.
