I have no experience with multiple displays, so please excuse my 
terminology - but :

Does your xorg.conf file enumerate your displays -

ie Display:0 and Display:1 in order to recognise that there is more than 
one display output being used/available.

Sorry if my terminology is wrong, but I hope you get my drift.
