You can use your external monitors at their native resolution. You just
can't use Unity 3D at the same time, because it's broken. Allowing you
to set a broken configuration is not an improvement.

This is indeed a correct solution, but not one that can be implemented
and tested in the 8 days before release. So, for Oneiric, we're going
to prevent you from setting a configuration that won't work. In P,
we'll fix compiz and unity so that this configuration will work.
