I followed the instructions at:
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=843&num=1
To install the radeonhd driver for Ubuntu. Installation went fine, and everything seems to work correctly - EXCEPT for one thing: I can't get my monitor's native resolution of 1680x1050 to work properly.
When I set the resolution to 1680x1050, my screen is "stretched" - basically, it looks as though the resolution is more like 2200x1050 (or something) and I am looking at the stuff in the right-hand side. I.e. none of the stuff on the left part of the screen is visible.
1440x900 works fine though, but since this is a widescreen LCD monitor, having it at that resolution is really hard on my eyes, especially for coding.
Can anyone give me any suggestions on how to solve this problem?
Here's my xorg.conf:

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated - I don't care about 3D, or desktop effects, or anything like that - I just want to be able to work in 1680x1050!
