Lots of people have reported this: the problem is the same one intel
used to have, it doesn't automatically allocate a framebuffer big enough
for both screens. There's a bug for this now:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=492175

in that bug I've asked Ben for his input on the status of this wrt
nouveau. As someone else followed up, the workaround is the same as it
used to be for Intel - you need an xorg.conf file with a proper Screens
section, and set the Virtual in the screens section to be the combined
resolution for the dual-head mode you want.
