I have a 965 with a virtual screen of 3200x1200 (two screens, one 1920w
and the other 1280w).  That does indeed work.

However, in my experience (and also what I read), compiz won't work
when the size if greater than 2048.

This was helpful:

It talks about a known DRI issue for chips that are pre-965, that limits the
virtual screen to 2048.

DRI works for me in some cases, but there are serious issues when
using it with, e.g., google earth or any of the planetarium programs.
My guess is that this is due to the bug; I haven't tested it extensively,
however, as I hardly need 3D on this system (a work laptop).

Cheers,
