It appears that the ati firegl driver does not support xinerama when
using its "dualhead/mergedfb" mode.  I'd be happy to add xinerama
support for ati's driver.  just tell them to release the source ;)

I suppose as a work-around you could divide the width by 2 for modes
like 2048x768 or 2560x1024, although it might break for users that
actually have a display of that size (not that I can think of any). 
Either that or tell the user to switch to an opensource driver.
