was able to solve the issue by adding a subsection to my xorg.conf file.
In the screen section I added "Virtual 3840 1080 ", which is the
combined total of both of my desktops.

This is my xorg.conf file:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "aticonfig Layout"
        Screen      0  "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
EndSection

Section "Module"
        Load  "glx"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
        Option      "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
        Option      "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
        Option      "DPMS" "true"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
        Driver      "fglrx"
        Option      "UseFastTLS" "1"
        BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"
        Device     "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
        Monitor    "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Virtual 3840 1080 
        EndSubSection
EndSection


I hope this helps, and there should definitely be a way for ubuntu to either 
figure out the virtual size for itself, rather than me having to add it in, 
when it is such a simple calculation
