This will require modifications to your xorg.conf file. The modifications are dependent on various things like what video driver you're using, whether you have xinerama installed and the settings required of your monitor settings.

The easiest way to set this up is to google for an example xorg.conf file that is already setup by someone using the same graphic card as you have.

Cheers.
