You should not need fglrx to get your dual monitor setup working. If
you _want_ to use fglrx, this is not the place to ask.

With that behind us:
What is the name of your video card (from lspci output)?
What is the output of "xrandr" when the secondary monitor is plugged?
If it doesn't work, you should file a bug at bugzilla.redhat.com with the
following information, with both monitors plugged in:
/var/log/dmesg after booting with drm.debug=15
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
