[    13.127] (II) RADEON(0): Output DisplayPort-0 connected
[    13.127] (II) RADEON(0): Output DisplayPort-1 connected
[    13.127] (II) RADEON(0): Using fuzzy aspect match for initial modes
[    13.127] (II) RADEON(0): Output DisplayPort-0 using initial mode 1152x864
[    13.127] (II) RADEON(0): Output DisplayPort-1 using initial mode 1152x864

The xserver (not the driver) is picking 1152x864 since it's the
largest common mode supported by both monitors.  You'll have to use
xrandr to choose a different mode (or specify different default modes
in your xorg.conf).  Alternatively, you can start up X with one
monitor attached and then enable the second one manually with xrandr.
