Is the driver using a different monitor from the one I configured (called panel24)?
Nope. RandR is just ignoring the displaysize of a configured monitor (and only that).
Sorry, I know this is painful. You're not the first to stumble over that.
Just to report that I found the solution to my problem of wrong physical dimensions. The solution is described at [1].
My xorg.conf is now: Section "Device" Identifier "generic video card" Driver "radeonhd" EndSection
Section "Monitor" Identifier "PANEL" DisplaySize 524 324 EndSection
This only works with recent Xservers. The DisplaySize was ignored for quite some time.
Auto detection of everything is fine unless your hardware is lying and you need to correct it :-)
Indeed, X.org is getting somewhere :)
