The reason for this resolution is probably that X thinks you have one
more screen and then stretches firstboot over it.

Second reason would be that Xpress 200 and Xpress 200M support in X is
actually really, really bad, and broken in many cases. Not to mention
that there are multiple versions of this chip, and each one is
slightly different. Provide lspci -vnn for your card in your bug
report.

But, from what I understand, you actually have a working KMS?
