Trouble with external monitor in 11.10

I'm getting this error when I want to configure an external monitor to connect it to my laptop.

requested position/size for CRTC 148 is outside the allowed limit: position=(1366, 0), size=(1366, 768), maximum=(1600, 1600)

Does any one know how to fix this?

Your virtual screen is 1600x1600, but you are trying to squeeze two screens into it. Each screen is 1366, so you need virtual screen 2732x768 or bigger.

Option 1.
Remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf and reboot with external monitor attached. Recent X works well without xorg.conf.

Option 2.
Fix virtual desktop size in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
