The ATI driver comes with a control panel that allows you to choose a
"mode" for the second display. Either a clone of the primary display,
or a vertical or horizontal extension. I think that it just updates the
XF86Config and then you need to restart X for it to take effect.
I've done clone mode with the regular XFree86 4.3 driver. Not sure if
it supports the others.
