Well, thanks for your reply but that cannot solve my problem.
Have you had a look at my included Xorg.0.log? It says
...

Unknown cards and a failure to read the BIOS are my problem.
Not sax2, xorg.conf or fglrx. That's why I followed

(II) RADEONHD(0): Unknown card detected: 0x94C3:0x174B:0xE400.
   If - and only if - your card does not work or does not work optimally
   please contact radeonhd@xxxxxxxxxxxx to help rectify this.
   Use the subject: 0x94C3:0x174B:0xE400: <name of board>
   and *please* describe the problems you are seeing
   in your message.

To answer teh above nevertheless:
I usually don't use sax2 to create my xorg.conf but, yes, I already
have tried the fglrx drivers from the ATI repository
(x11-video-fglrxG01-8.573-0.1).

aticonfig --adapter=all --initial
or
aticonfig --initial=dual-head
or even
sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx,1=fglrx
do not create a working dual-card config with distinct screens,
even if modified manually afterwards.
