I feel more lucky than you are, here are some excerpts of my xorg.conf:
..
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
..
as you can see, X.org and the radeon driver apparently get the right
max screen size w/o any specific settings.
