I had the same problem with OpenSUSE 10.3 on a Macbook. I think the
problem is that xorg 7.3 is detecting two different resolutions for
output. You can use xrandr to "fix" the problem:
$ xrandr --output VGA --off
The "VGA" part may vary. For instance, others seem to need to use
"TV". Fwiw, when I enabled XGL this problem went away, but I cannot
explain why. However, I also have not tried dual-head, so maybe XGL
disables the second output?
Anyway, you may have already solved the problem, but in case you
haven't I hope this helps.
