Nope, it can't set the stride to more than 8192 bytes, so it's more
limited than the Radeon chips.

Right now, the driver allocates a single frame buffer for all outputs
and places the outputs within that area. Splitting it so that each
output had its own frame buffer will make it possible for each output to
reach up to 2048x2048 pixels, that's what I was suggesting needed to be
done.
