Michel,

Thanks for the information. I was able to get rid of the horizontal scan
lines on the lcd panel using the XF86Config-4 file below. I have
experiemnted with the options in the device section quite a bit and
discovered that if I put the Option "UseFBDev" in both device sections
then the external crt gets disabled but if I only put it in the device
section for the lcd then it removes the scan lines and the external crt
is enabled (although still in clone mode). I also discovered that I need
the BusID option in the device section for the external crt but not for
the lcd. So basically with this file I have clone mode enabled, no
horizontal scan lines on the internal lcd, and a yellow tint on both the
lcd and external monitor. 

I am currently running a 2.4.19 kernel (sid) and am trying to update the
drivers/video/radeonfb.c module to v1.23 (latest release) but there
seems to be a lot of new dependencies so I may try to just update to a
later kernel that has the later radeonfb.c integrated.

Ultimately my goal is to get true independent dual-heads enabled.

This one is a bit tricky. You basically need a recent radeonfb and
Option "UseFBDev" for the internal panel to work correctly, but then the
behaviour of the second head is undefined. You can find some success
stories in the archives of the debian-powerpc mailing list though.
