Ok, so this sounds like an another HW limitation problem, where the addition of a second head prevents the chipset to drive all screens that the initial resolution and results in poor results.

Intrisically it is a driver bug: the driver shouldn't force the HW to go beyond its limits. Either it should lower the resolution forcefully, or disable support for the 2nd head.
