Sorry this took so long..  Just tried to upgrade again Xorg 7.4, ati
6.9.0+git20080826 (newest package) and the problem still exists, sort
of..
Starting up, the external monitor was set at 1024x768...  Usually I
use a script to disable the laptop monitor and enable the external one
like this:
#!/bin/bash
xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto
xrandr --output LVDS --off
That used to put the external monitor into full native res with 6.8.0,
but no longer.   Messing with the KDE4 display settings for a long
time, switching resolutions around, eventually I got it to display at
1680, but I'm sure if I restart it'll mess up again...

Attached logs from both drivers.
