Thanks for responding to this. Rather than close the issue, can we
either:

1) Track this as a bug with the fglrx drivers upstream or
2) Catch the error setting the virtual resolution and display a friendly error 
message like "Your video driver does not support extending your screen between 
multiple monitors. Please use the vendor supplied settings application."
3) Do a check before enabling the toggle for mirrored screens. This would only 
become enabled when a vendor supported "dynamic front buffer reallocation"
