Righto, so i have two monitors, 22" and 17 inch. Handy for my work. Through previous trickhackery, I had everything running more or less ok: I had the choice between two monitors and 2d, or one monitor 3d acceleration. Since it's a work machine, I chose the former.
After updating to 8.6, the X server bombs out on startup when in dual-head mode, ie, the two Devices in xorg.conf have the same BusID. Switching to stretch-screen (dtop={horizontal|vertical}) fixes the crash, but since the screens are different sizes this is unworkable: one is stretched out or the other is squished up.
I've tried enabling and disabling every single option in xorg.conf known to man, it makes no difference; the server crashes on startup every time if dual-head mode is selected. I've also checked all the .so version types and locations, symbolic links and anything else I could think of.
Last few lines of the Xorg.0.log (everything is fine before this):

It would appear that the amdxmm.so module is to blame (perhaps some new shared memory stuff isn't working right?), but I'm not enough of a programmer to be certain.
Any ideas?
