The problem is the modeline from your monitor for the 1920x1080 mode is greater than 165 Mhz which is the current cut off for single link mode in the driver:
(II) RADEON(0): Modeline "1920x1080"x60.0 172.78 1920 2040 2248 2576 1080 1081 1084 1118 -hsync +vsync (67.1 kHz)

It should work if you specify a modeline with a lower clock E.g.,
Modeline "1920x1080R" 138.50 1920 1968 2000 2080 1080 1083 1088 1111 +hsync -vsync

Based on the upstream bug, it sounds like this is due to a bug in the kernel so no change needed to X itself. However I'll leave the X task open for a bit longer so we can track progress.

went back to the oneiric kernel after it didn't work, but uname at the time was definitely showing 3.2.0-12-generic ; do you need me to reinstall and verify more info from uname -a?

When you ran the test kernel from http://people.canonical.com/~jsalisbury/lp915408/, did the uname -a report only 3.2.0-12-generic as the kernel version? It should have had the following test appended ~lp915408. If it didn't it may not have been the correct test kernel.

Could you test one additional kernel? This is the latest upstream stable kernel:

This will tell us if the fix is in the mainline kernel.

This issue appears to be an upstream bug, since you tested the latest upstream kernel. Would it be possible for you to open an upstream bug report at bugzilla.kernel.org [1]? That will allow the upstream Developers to examine the issue, and may provide a quicker resolution to the bug.

If you are comfortable with opening a bug upstream, It would be great if you can report back the upstream bug number in this bug report. That will allow us to link this bug to the upstream report.

I've tested against a kernel with this patch, as well as mainline kernel (both built by ubuntu kernel team), and am still seeing the same behavior. So seems like this change doesn't fix the issue.

This patch should fix it. Your chip is limited to 165 Mhz single link tmds. The mode you are trying to set is >165 Mhz. With this patch applied the mode should be properly rejected by the driver.

appears to be fixed upstream, by using latest kernel image form http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.3-precise/ . only "problem" remaining is that it picks 1280x960 as the default/initial/lightdm resolution for both screens, which is fine, but everything looks quite large.
