You either need to set up your panel in the BIOS (which the X driver will
pick up automatically), or you can specify the

"Option" "PanelGeometry" "<width>x<height>"

in your xorg.conf.  If you don't have "standard" panel, then you will need
to probably also specify the timings for your panel as a ModeLine.

Try the BIOS route first, it is easier to configure.

PS for posterity on Google:  If you are trying the newer RandR branch,
(v 2.12.0 and higher), then replace "PanelGeometry" with:

"PanelMode" "hactive hsyncstart hsyncend htotal vactive vstart vsend vototal"

You won't need to specify a seperate modeline in this case.
