In setting up this system I had to add a bunch of stuff to xorg.conf. I'm
using a dual head setup. With no xorg.conf I get two cloned monitors with
the proper LCD native resolutions. That's great. I want dual head /
spanning mode. So I ran the xrandr command to do that, but was denied
because the framebuffer wasn't large enough. I have since set it up
properly. However I then used a live-cd for a test-run. This also did the
two monitor clone in proper resolution, however yet again, this can't be
changed because the xorg framebuffer is not resizeable and the max it set
was too small.

You have to specify the "virtual" size yourself - just in case you
haven't stumbled over that in the meantime.
