I have the same setup and this helped me. I couldn't get it working with the 1600x1200 on DVI. I don't know if there's anyway around the DVI monitor being the primary. But with that setup the max resolution I could get was 3200x1200. Seeing that was the only thing I had different was the DVI/VGA setup. I switched that and got 3840x1200 with linux automagically knowing my second monitor 1600 res. I also got the very latest drivers from ATI (9.3) which I say have a less buggy version of amdcccle.
