Why does it appear as two pci id's anyway? Can you treat it as a second card?
To the best of my knowledge, we don't add the second head PCI ID to drm_pciids.txt because the driver only looks for the first PCI device (in fact, loading two driver instances, one for each device, would be certain to cause lockups). So please remove the second ID.
I don't know why ATI decided to publish two PCI devices, and I don't have any related documentation. However, all the features like dual head can be used by only considering the first PCI device, as far as I know.
The two PCI devices "feature" is needed for Windows 2000 which otherwise has no way to support dual head.
