Yes, it is a bug that the "ghost" screen is used for determining screen
size. To disable this in xorg.conf, see "III.4. Disabling outputs" in
http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12
Running without an xorg.conf will not produce a new one. "sudo dpkg-
reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" will make one. Or the "Screen and
Graphics" GUI, but it can not yet be trusted with the new xrandr1.2
drivers, so just avoid it.
Thanks for the drink :)
