You have to enable xinerama.

Ie. put 

Section "ServerFlags"
        Option  "Xinerama"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier      "Default Layout"
        Screen          "Screen_1"
        Screen          "Screen_2" RightOf "Screen_1"
        InputDevice     "Generic Keyboard"
        InputDevice     "Generic Mouse"
EndSection

Into your xorg.conf and restart X

(Disclaimer: this from a very old xorg.conf i haven't used in ages.
It might not work anymore)
