works or doesn't...not my experience.  Two months later it stopped working again...and then three days later, it spontaneously started working again.  Anywho, here is the xorg that lets you control the resolution:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "Default Layout"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Keyboard0"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
        Option      "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "intel"
        Option      "monitor-TMDS-2" "left"
        Option      "monitor-TMDS-1" "right"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        Monitor    "right"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     24
                Virtual   3840 1200
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
  Identifier "left"
  Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1200"
  Option "Position" "0 0"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
  Identifier "right"
  Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1200"
  Option "Position" "1920 0"
EndSection
