Follow the steps I've already posted.
Run startx with both monitors connected.
Hopefully you'll end up with half a display.
If you can't reach the exit button, use CTRL-ALT-BKSP to terminate the X server.
Now go and run:
less /var/log/XFree86.0.log
As you go through this file, this is what you'll hit. At the top of the file you should see some info about the config.
Go down a little, and you'll see info about the fglrx driver. It'll say what chipsets it supports. Right after this list, it will say if it detected your chipset. _This is important_. If it says it didn't detect any supported chipsets, you're probably using the wrong driver. Drop to the command prompt and run lspci -v
Now the next section it will probe the monitors using DCC (plug and play). You should see it finding the monitors in succession. Check the serial numbers to make sure it's two different monitors. Most probably the first monitor will be followed with plenty of resolutions not working.
For each of the monitors, check the initial frequencies. If the first one shows some incredibly low values, you haven't changed the VSync2 and HRefresh2 values like I told you to.
If you've got the driver recognizing the chipset, and you can see two monitors in the list, try disconnecting the DVI output, rebooting, and reconnecting the DVI output. Hopefully it works.
What I think happens is that the ATI driver can't correctly interpret the replies from the monitor attached to the DVI output. Thus it thinks that monitor can't run at the resolution you want, so shuts it off. We just tell it we know better, and then it works!
