PreferredMode is ignored?

I'm trying to figure out how to start up two monitors (both attached to a 
radeon x1300) at two different resolutions by default.  The DVI-0 monitor 
should start up at 1280x1024 and the VGA-0 monitor should be at 1152x864.  If 
I set my PreferredMode to 1280x1024 for both, they both start up at that 
resolution, in the correct location.  If I set the PreferredMode for VGA-0 
(and *just* VGA-0) to 1152x864, both monitors start up at 1152x864.   I can 
then use xrandr to increase the resolution on DVI-0 to 1280x1024. 

I'm attaching my xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log file.  Any advice would be greatly 
appreciated.

Adam
