new Setup - KDE Resolution mixed up

Hello forum,
i have a thinkpad t500 with an integrated ati 3650 which is connected via a dvi from the docking station.
The setup worked fine with ubuntu. I now installed archlinux and tried the open source radeon driver with kde. I get a very strange mixed up output. When I start kde via startx (xinit script) the resolution is cut down to 1024x768. So I try to change this via kde - system settings to the native resolution of my DVI Display. The output looks like this:

or directly:http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/161/1003256a.jpg
So the Display actually uses the higher resolution, but KDE does not seem to adopt it correctly?

How can I fix this?
A problem might be that the internal lcd of my notebook has a native resolution of 1680x1050. I would like to use this when I am not using the docking station (no dual head needed though, only one display is active at a time).

My xorg.conf is very small:

#fixing evdev 
Section "ServerFlags"
   Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
   Option "AutoEnableDevices" "false"
EndSection

#keyboard settings
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier     "Keyboard0"
        Driver         "keyboard"
        Option         "XkbLayout" "de"
        Option         "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
        #ctlaltbkspc
        Option         "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection

#radeon driver
Section "Device"
    Identifier "Device0"
    Driver "radeon"
EndSection
Section "Module"
  Load  "glx"
  Load  "dri"
  Load  "drm"
EndSection
