There is a maximum virtual size for the frame buffer.
You can adjust it in the xorg.conf by putting a

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Device          "Generic Video Card"
        Monitor         "Generic Monitor"
        DefaultDepth    24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           24
                Modes           "1024x768"
                Virtual         2304 854
        EndSubSection
EndSection

for your needs, this should be ok

PS : correct me if I am wrong
