I had a lot of trouble as well. This documents how I got it working on
one Thinkpad T30. I used the open source radeon driver (not ati) and
issued an xrandr command from the command line.

I tried to modprobe radeon and replace vesa with radeon in xorg.conf
but then it complains that "No Screens Found".
the opensource radeon driver is deficient for newer chipsets. if you
have ati or nvidia hardware, you really should be using the proprietary
drivers to get the most functionality with the least pain. if you have
some sort of moral conviction against running the proprietary drivers,
then expect pain. choose your battles :)
you'll need to use the proprietary ATI driver to do what you want. it's
fairly well documented as to how to do this (clone mode) in the readme
files that come with it. You can get this in ubuntu if you enable the
restricted apt repository which contains these drivers -- that way
whenever there's an update to either the driver or the kernel you can
get it the same way you normally update everything else.
