It only sees one monitor now.  Can you plug in both monitors and
re-start the system and then check xrandr?  It should show monitors
like VGA-0 and VGA-1 or such.

>From command line you can experiment with settings,

xrandr --output VGA-0 --output VGA-1 left-of

Since xrandr can work interactively, experiment with that, and then
try the xorg approach.  I do have a working xorg.conf that I posted in
this email list last Friday, in a message with a title "dual head
howto for xrandr; problem with window manager, no more merged fb or
xinerama flags"
