Xrandr does not properly detect laptop monitor resolutions with ATI KMS enabled

[LSL]

Binary package hint: x11-xserver-utils

I have the radeon m54 chipset that is in the mobility x1400 using the opensource ATI driver, and the radeon.modeset=1 option added to the kernel options. The display properties only shows the display mode of 1440x900, and nothing else. Xrandr shows my monitor LVDS as only having one possible option which is of course the 1440x900, and nothing else as well.
