Your best bet is to file a bug report if one hasn't already been opened.

This doesn't sound at all like the OP's problem. Similar to the above,
you should file a bug report--a separate bug report in this case.

For what it's worth, I too use the catalyst driver (ATI X1400) and
have no problems whatsoever with the latest Xorg and my resolution of
1680x1050.  It may very well be card-dependant so providing those
little details in the report could help.
