OK; therefore I'm merging 384325 with 388271 and removing the "moreinfo"
tag as we'we had quite our fair share of info. Please followup to 384325 as
that's where the majority of the discussion took place.

Those affected by this bug might want to check what the fglrx driver thinks
about your display's size with the following command:
  grep -E "Image Size|Display dimensions|DPI" /var/log/Xorg.0.log

and report their findings here if they're incorrect or unusual in any way,
which I suspect they will be in your case. For example, here's mine:
  (II) fglrx(0): Max H-Image Size [cm]: horiz.: 34  vert.: 27
  (II) fglrx(0): clock: 108.0 MHz   Image Size:  338 x 270 mm
  (--) fglrx(0): Display dimensions: (340, 270) mm
  (--) fglrx(0): DPI set to (95, 96)

Note that the X.Org radeon driver should report exactly the same values if
everything's OK.

Now that I think about it, you didn't disable EDID with option "IgnoreEDID"
in your xorg.conf, did you?

If anyone has tested fglrx 8.29, please report if it fixes this. I can't
test myself, unfortunately, as my hardware is among those whose support was
dropped.
