The XFX ATI Radeon HD 4650 is a good value dual DVI card to two screens. Found it on Dabs for £40.29 which is usually double that for a dual DVI card.

http://www.dabs.com/products/xfx-ati-radeon-hd-4650-600mhz-1gb-ddr2-pci-e-2-0-dual-dvi-card-5F13.html

Xorg conf shown below. Just update the BusID field for your card using

lspci

05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV730 PRO [Radeon HD 4650]
05:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc R700 Audio Device [Radeon HD 4000 Series]

therefore the BusID field is

BusID "PCI:5:0:0"

or if output was

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV730 PRO [Radeon HD 4650]
01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc R700 Audio Device [Radeon HD 4000 Series]

then

BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
