Just to let you know in case you didn't, the ServerLayout and second screen sections are for Xinerama, which I have not gotten working yet.

Now I'm not familiar with Xinerama but I believe your Server Layout should be:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Simple Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
Screen 1 "Screen0" RightOf "Screen 2"
InputDevice "DevInputMice" "AlwaysCore"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

If this doesn't work try looking here for info on setting up multiple monitors http://www.linuxlookup.com/modules.p...&artid=13#2.2a

For Xinerama you might want to check this website on how to set up for Xinerama How-To

Let us know how it goes.
