you need to add a virtual line to the screen section of your config:
Virtual 2304 854
Also, if you are using a r100 or r200 variant, you'll need to disable
colortiling if the size of your desktop exceeds 2048 in either
dimension.
Option "colortiling" "false"
Eventually, when the memory management stuff lands, this sort of thing
will go away, but for now we have to pre-allocate the max size you may
want for your desktop.
