Show us the config file this is referring to, either /etc/X11/xorg.conf or 
whatever is in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/. Is it a leftover from when you had a 
GeForce installed? If so, remove it and try. Most displays work with most 
gfxcards without any config file by using the display's EDID.

Something else to try: If Plymouth is installed, purge it and try again.

What Gforce? Were you using it with the proprietary NVidia driver in the same 
Sid? If so, did you completely purge it and reverse all the changes it made 
to your FOSS configuration?

If none of the above helps, put an xrandr command in a startup script, e.g.:

	/etc/X11/Xsession.d/95local

containing

	xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode 2560x1080 --rate 60

(--rate 60 optional, if necessary)

Another thing to try (maybe first): purge xserver-xorg-video-ati and/or 
xserver-xorg-video-radeon, so that the modeset driver internal to Xorg will 
be used instead of radeon.
