dualhead should work fine on radeon hardware.

the log is /var/log/Xorg.0.log or /var/log/XFree86.0.log

you'd want to add to this part of your config:

Section "Device"
  BoardName    "Radeon 7500"
  BusID        "1:0:0"
  Driver       "radeon"
  Identifier   "Device[0]"
  Screen       0
  Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS, CRT"
  VendorName   "ATI"
EndSection
