do you use nomodeset as suggested? does it work without it?

Title:
  [Oneiric] Cannot setup dual monitor with AMD 5870

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I try to setup the dual screen for a Radeon 5870 in Gnome, I cannot get it to change from a mirrored setup using
  gnome-control-center display

  It gives me an error dialog saying
  "The selected configuration for displays could not be applied"
  "requested position/size for CRTC 148 is outside the allowed limit: position=(1680, 0), size=(1680, 1050), maximum=(1920, 1920)"

  The same maximum is shown with xrandr as shown below.

  Also, I have another similar issue raised for Unity and radeon driver (not sure if it's related)
