When you're using the open-source Radeon drivers, the xrandr output: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1050, maximum 1920 x 1920 indicates that you're using the userspace-modesetting codpaths, rather than kernel modesetting.

Ok, I have a dual boot on this machine. Both partitions have Oneiric running with fglrx driver now installed. I have not installed Ubuntu updates on the second partition and the environment is working better. I only just updated the linux kernel to 3.0.0-12, confirmed no change, then fglrx to 2:8.881-0ubuntu3, again confirmed no change. Finally upgraded compiz to 1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu1.

When I reboot, each time the desktop wallpaper for the smaller monitor (1680x1050) appears fine. The larger monitor is running 1920x1080 but the desktop wallpaper appears to be the same as the 1680x1050 monitor and then repeats (as if tiled).
