I have to add here: I have *no* idea why this image size has precedence
over the main image size. I guess some other monitor got it wrong the
other way, and this kludge was introduced without asking anybody else.
This is done in the general (read: non-driver-specific) RandR code.

But that is just wild guessing. Maybe something to ask on xorg-devel.

You're now stumbling over a bug that is related to Xserver 1.4 (assuming
you run that one), which has been fixed in git. AFAIR.
Nothing radeonhd related.

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.
