They amount to the same thing! The 'ati' driver loads the right driver for your ati card. So, just use 'ati'; it will load 'radeon' for you. As for dual head with xinerama, unfortunately this is not fully supported in Xfree86 4.3. The reason lies in the inability of the radeon driver to correctly detect, and configure the card for, a monitor on the DVI port. You will have to download the source release, apply a patch, and then recompile. This worked for me. See previous thread on a similarly named topic for more details. The patch is available from: http://penguinppc.org/~daenzer/DRI/radeon-ddc.diff If you're familiar with patching and rebuilding from source, this is fairly straightforward. If not, it will be a bit tricky! I would hope that this patch will be in for 4.3.1- but I don't know! Others on this list (i.e. those that wrote the patch) will have a better idea!
