To the best of my knowledge, we don't add the second head PCI ID to
drm_pciids.txt because the driver only looks for the first PCI device (in
fact, loading two driver instances, one for each device, would be certain
to cause lockups). So please remove the second ID.
I don't know why ATI decided to publish two PCI devices, and I don't have
any related documentation. However, all the features like dual head can be
used by only considering the first PCI device, as far as I know.
The two PCI devices "feature" is needed for Windows 2000 which otherwise 
has no way to support dual head.
