Did you try to set Virtual size in SubSection "Display" of Section
"Screen" in your xorg.conf.
In the past I used it, but now I don't need any more, but I don't remember why.

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Monitor         "Configured Monitor"
        Device          "Configured Video Device"
        SubSection "Display"
               Virtual 3360 1050
        EndSubSection
EndSection
