trouble setting up separate desktops with xorg.conf and ATI X1300 Video Card


I've been messing with this most of the day and am at an impasse. I can get the desktop to span across the two monitors, and I can get it to 'twin view'. Unfortunately what I wish to do is create a separate desktop on each monitor while being able to move the mouse from one screen to another.

I'm running Fedora 9, and the system-config-display refuses to play nice with my video card unlike on Fedora 8.

My xorg.conf
Code:
# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier     "multi head configuration"
	Screen         "Screen0" LeftOf "Screen1"
	InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"

# keyboard added by rhpxl
	Identifier  "Keyboard0"
	Driver      "kbd"
	Option	    "XkbModel" "pc105"
	Option	    "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier   "dvi0"
	ModelName    "LCD Panel 1280x1024"
	HorizSync    31.5 - 64.0
	VertRefresh  56.0 - 65.0
	Option	    "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier   "dvi1"
	Option 	"LeftOf" "dvi0"
	ModelName    "LCD Panel 1280x1024"
	HorizSync    31.5 - 64.0
	VertRefresh  56.0 - 65.0
	Option	    "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Videocard0"
	Driver      "radeon"
	Option "monitor-DVI-1" "dvi1"
	Option "monitor-DVI-0" "dvi0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device     "Videocard0"
	Monitor    "Monitor0"
	DefaultDepth     24
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     24
		Modes    "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
	EndSubSection
EndSection
Any and all help would be appreciative.
