Yes, that's what I found out too. The problem is that the edges
coordinates are now computed wrong. They are now apparently set from the
 largest possible mode, instead from the largest mode specified in
xorg.conf.

So setting Virtual explicitely in xorg.conf fixes the issue, but it's
still a regression since it needs more info in xorg.conf than before.

Also a quick test on -current gives a segfault during screen 1
initialisation. I haven't had time to dig that further yet.
