I'm using a Radeon HD 5450 and a Radeon HD 4350 with proprietary drivers. Got Xinerama working using a combo of ATI Catalyst control center and previous knowledge of xorg.conf from trying to get ati cards working before. Had compiz working with one monitor on one card, but no compiz with one monitor on each card.
xorg.conf:
Section "ServerLayout"
