Just a quick note here. I switched to the open source drivers for the multiple monitors but along with that, my battery life had been slashed by one half. I used to get approximately 4 hours of life from the fglrx driver and now I have barely 2 hours. Sad, but the big desktop is more important to me at the moment.

Done! Goodbye fglrx!
In short, I've given up on AMD's drivers. I waited as long as I could but there is just no improvement. The notes here details on how I got rid of the fglrx and switched to open source.
Basically, I followed the instructions from this article for removing. I did not however perform the steps to reinstall the open source drivers from there. I ran the software sources application and clicked on the open source drivers, applying the changes and letting it reinstall the packages. Then, I deleted xorg.conf and rebooted.
Voila! Multiple monitors are back!
