Actually, it needs to be off for both, because the framebuffer device
doesn't support the second head yet, so its behaviour is undefined with
UseFBDev. The failure to restore the console is a bug in the XFree86
radeon driver I think.
Otherwise, I don't see anything obviously wrong with your configuration,
the X server log would be interesting.
