The FireGL module (fglrx) claims that 1600x1200 is a valid mode and that the
virtual desktop size is set to 1600x1200. Check the documentation for that
to figure out how to tell it what mode to use. It doesn't look like it's
getting any info from the display as to what is valid so there should be
some other way to give it a hint.
