For dual DVI cards you'll need to use the most recent
driver from ati
git master.  For the desktop size, add a virtual line
to the screen
section of your config specifying the max desktop size
you want,
e.g.,:
Virtual 2304 1024

Ok that worked. I no longer get the "screen cannot be
larger than 1280x1200" error.  The 
right monitor still does not display anything. I have
a black screen with the green light.  Here is my
xorg.conf file, maybe it will help:
