Well, the remove/reinstall wasn't enough,
I had to do these:

yum remove compiz
# for both users/screens:
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz
yum install compiz

to get it working on both screens.

But the 1024x1024 limit is still there on the
Radeon 7000VE (r100), the Radeon 9200SE (rv280)
works beautifully.
