LinuxQuestions.org - Dual Head/Monitor Setup

I've spent the last couple days scouring the forums, only to come very close with my Xfree86 setup, but not where I want to be. I am hoping for a dual monitor setup (using a dual head GeForce5900FX) where I have one desktop on each monitor (staying away from TwinView's single streched desktopm which you'll notice I already tried out). As my XF86config stands, I am getting two desktops , but I cannot move my mouse over to the second screen. Please look over the exerpt of my XF86config and tell me what I did wrong. Thanks ahead of time for your help.
