I got Dual Head working on my Radeon 8500 last night. It worked as two 
separate screens (i.e. :0.0 and :0.1) and (better) with Xinerama. I used 
the stock XFree86 4.2.0 binaries for ix86 Linux. (kernel 2.4.18 if you 
care).

It's quite wonderful, really. If you're having trouble, I could post my 
XF86Config and log for you.

(The only problem I have is that DVD playback with ogle and the Xv 
extension results in an all-black rectangle. But I think I encountered a 
  post about this before, either in the xpert or dri-devel archives. 
I've got to try to find it. The GATOS ati.2 driver doesn't have this 
problem, but you can't do DRI in dual head mode, and I couldn't 
determine what options to use to deactivate DRI and still start up. (I 
could get both montors to display the same thing, which is an 
interesting way to watch a DVD.) I'm going to try building the latest 
CVS XFree86 and see if the Xv fix I need is already in there.)
