Bug in the radeon driver, when one overwrites the screen size as I have to 
do for one my Dell screens, it takes the size of that overwrite for the 
overall size, instead of summing over all screen...

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "DELL_20"
        # Max Image Size [cm]: horiz.: 41  vert.: 31
        # but wrong clock: 162.0 MHz   Image Size:  367 x 275 mm
        DisplaySize     410 310
        Option          "PreferredMode"  "1600x1200"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "DELL_24"
        Option          "PreferredMode"  "1920x1200"
        Option          "LeftOf"  "DVI-0"
EndSection


And that results in Xorg logs in 

[    33.246] (II) RADEON(0): Setting screen physical size to 410 x 310

So instead of correcting the size for one screen, it corrects the overall 
screen size... Same with manually setting it with xrandr. At least I have a 
workaround now.

Cheers,
