I recommend to exchange your graphics card.
Assuming I was looking for a new machine or card - where would I find hints which cards work with dual-head, especially one screen rotated ?
The plain fact "card is supported in Linux" isn't detailed enough for such requirements.
Or, if that is easier to answer, what would you recommend ?
ATI Radeon >= X1xxx. There you can select between the RANDR 1.2 compatible radeonhd and the proprietary fglrx driver. When using a X1xxx card you have even 3D support with radeonhd driver (DRI driver for HD2xxx/3xxx/4xxx is still in development). I'm using a X1650 running a 2x 1680x1050 setup with radeonhd driver, but none of the screens is rotated (can try this later). 3D works fine for me, e.g. GoogleEarth.
