Thanks to gwydion
I got my xorg.conf to finally work in Ubunutu 9.04 Jaunty. I was having problems where when I boot into ubuntu, I didn’t even get a login screen, it just froze at a black screen after boot up with a few artifacts of color here and there.
Took many, many hours trying to finding this solution. I ended up being able to use the proprietary driver fglrx when all was said and done, instead of having to use vesa.
Here is what I did:

| dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all
aticonfig --cfa --adapater=all
aticonfig --add-pairmode=<your width>x<your height>+<your width 2>x<your height 2>

Also had to add
1
| Option "EnableRandR12" "false"
|
to each device section and
to the [AMDPCSROOT/SYSTEM/DDX] section of /etc/ati/amdpcsdb (source) in order to disable RandR 1.2

This probably is a solution for the 4870 X2, or any other X2 based board.
