Actually, Jens, I'm not even talking about getting it working with Xinerama. Just a traditional dualhead setup with two independent displays. Last time I tried this, the radeon driver disabled DRI.
Now, if I throw a PCI card into my machine, in addition to the AGP Radeon 7500, I can get DRI working on the Radeon 7500, and still use the PCI card as a secondary head.
