AFAIK this driver was first programmed for FireGL 8800 and 8700 only. because 
these chips were very similar to the 8500 radeon, they decided to support 
them too. They added support for new chips up from 8500 as they were 
produced, but the 7500 is not supported.

the only way to get dual display seems to be Xinerama
