You may need to use reduced blanking or a custom modeline. Mergedfb
is kind of a hack so it only uses one screen/monitor section and the
rest is handled by driver options. It looks like your 1600x1200 mode
is rejected because the hsync is out of range. Try adding CRT2Hsync
and CRT2Vrefresh options to your config.
