Yes there is a fault in the "Display" app
I get the error 
required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(2560, 1024), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(1280, 1280)

I can only mirror the monitors which is useless for me.

Title:
  Cannot set up multi-monitor display using fglrx

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

Bug description:
  I have 3 monitors, and I've been trying to set them up side-by-side
  using the Displays tool. They're all mirrored by default.

  After dragging around the rectangles and clicking Apply, I get this
  error: "required virtual size does not fit available size:
  requested=(6400, 1440), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(2560, 2560)" I'm
  wondering if it's a driver limitation, or a small glitch that can be
  fixed.

  I tried setting up my multi-monitor environment using the ATI/AMD
  craptastic tool, but it crashes on Oneiric (used to work on Natty). In
  fact, on Natty, I used the AMD tool (amdcccle) to set up a rough
  approximation of what I wanted, and then I used Displays to arrange
  the screens nicely, because the UI has snap-to-edge and snap-to-
  center. The fact that this worked makes me hope it'd be possible to
  have Displays set up my monitors without the help of amdcccle.
