3D should be supported just fine on this card.  what problems were you
having?  if you tried to mix the radeon driver with fglrx, you might
have run into problem with left over fglrx libs conflicting with the
regular xorg versions.  For dualhead, you can use mergedfb with the
currently released radeon driver, or grab the randr-1.2 branch and you
will have full output control (turn outputs on/off, switch between
dual/single head on the fly).
