Thanks Erik for your xorg.conf! With a few adjustments it worked for my Radeon 2400 PRO as well.

For the community I attached my config file for a dual head config of two 1280x1024 screens. X started in a lower resolution, but that was easily fixed using System->Preferences->Screen Resolution. I had to set the screen layout with grandr (also available at System->Administration->Multiple screens). I have to do that every time I start X. It seems my xorg.conf file does not tackle that yet.

I also put a lot of effort in getting the ati driver up and running. Nothing but blank screens. The only error I got was a message that the acceleration wasn't available. X starts, sound works, but the screens stay blank. The ati driver worked before my upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10...
