X.org's ATI teams rocks, really :)

Try to toy with xrandr - it takes care of all resolution/multiple screen
stuff pretty much obsoleting settings in xorg.conf. You may need to add
appropriate modelines to your Monitor section in xorg.conf if EDID
returned by monitor is wrong and states lower max resolution than
possible (I had this problem once it was a bug in xf86-video-ati).
