Thanks for that, Bryce. Indeed, adding a "Virtual 2304 1024" line to xorg.conf allows me to run my monitors alongside each other at full resolution.

However, I would agree with you that having to set Virtual at all is a bug. However, I couldn't find any bugs that seem to mention it.

From what I gather from your comment, the GNOME Screen Resolution tool can set the Virtual property on-the-fly. The reason I didn't discover that is because I run the stock GNOME 2.22 control panel, which is not xrandr 1.2-aware -- not the Ubuntu-provided one, which is aware of multi-monitor setups. Is it possible to do set Virtual with xrandr or radeontool on-the-fly? I couldn't find a way to do it.
