I have the problem with fglrx driver and my projector for years (so it happend with various Suse and fglrx versions).
When I boot my pc with the projector connected (DVI), the fonts in KDE are too small to be read (I guess 3 pixels high). Even if the projetor is switched off, my 19" TFT (also DVI connection) shows the small fonts. Plugging TFT and projector to the other DVI connector of the ATI card doesn't change anything.
It only seems to help when I insert the line "DisplaySize 376 301" to my xorg.conf. (my 19" TFT is 376mm wide and 301mm high)
So it seems to me, the fglrx driver thinks my screen is 4 meters wide and adjusts the font size accordingly. Why does the driver change the fonts at all? Is this a wanted behaviour? I would call it a bug.
Cheers,
