Tried the following already?

Option "MergedFB" "1"

Does it work with the same resolution at all? It might be you
have a general problem with your dual-head setup?

Though I don't used different resolution, as my dual-head
monitors are exactly the same and TFT, so they just run their
native resolution, from 'xdpyinfo'

dimensions: 2560x1024 pixels (764x302 millimeters)
resolution: 85x86 dots per inch

Both cards use the radeon driver, sadly 3D doesn't work with
Xinerama on Xfree86. I can however switch the resolution on each
of them independently through all configured modes with no
problems. I'd be surprised if this shouldn't work with xorg.
