Xorg log

I have 2 video cards: Radeon HD 4870 and Radeon HD 6750. Each of them has 2 monitors connected. Setup works fine in Windows and under Xinerama.

I've been trying to make it work with XRandR. Theese are my settings:

xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0

xrandr --output DVI-0 --auto --right-of DVI-1
xrandr --output DVI-1-2 --auto --left-of DVI-1
xrandr --output DVI-1-3 --auto --left-of DVI-1-2

But only one of the monitors work on the second video card. It can be either DVI-1-3 or DVI-1-2, but not both of them.
When I try to enable second monitor I see the following in Xorg.0.log:

[  1487.331] (II) RADEON(0): Allocate new frame buffer 7680x1216 stride 7680
[  1487.353] (II) RADEON(0): VRAM usage limit set to 190789K
[  1487.358] Cannot do multiple crtcs without X server dirty tracking 2 interface
[  1487.358] failed to set shadow slave pixmap
[  1487.358] need to create shared pixmap 0

DVI-1-3 is turning on, but it clones DVI-1-2 while X thinks it is extra space (because I can drag windows there and see it as empty space in workspace indicator). Trying to do xrandr --output DVI-1-3 --off makes xrandr nuts:

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  140 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  7 (RRSetScreenSize)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  62
  Current serial number in output stream:  63

After this to get back into normal state I have to restart Xorg.

Complete Xorg.0.log attached.

Any chances this can be fixed?

This particular issue is fixed with xserver 1.16.99.901 or an xserver Git master snapshot less than about two months old.
