Hi all, in searching for a result myself I have seen many people ask how to setup dual screen on a Radeon 9600 card. I managed to get it to work this morning and thought I should share it with everyone.
You may need to change screen resolution and HorizSync/VertRefresh to suit your own monitors before it will work properly.
The following section is the contents of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file for PC-BSD 1.4 beta with dual screen. Please note that I was unable to have PC-BSD running with this card from install. (refer to post
