yes that worked, I got
screen #0:
   dimensions:    2560x1024 pixels (802x302 millimeters)
   resolution:    81x86 dots per inch
which seems the same as 2 screens each  1280 x 1024, 401 x 301mm

and this gave
(--) RADEON(0): Virtual size is 1280x1024 (pitch 1280)
(--) RADEON(1): Virtual size is 1280x1024 (pitch 1280)

thank you
