Hello

I recently posted the question and Darren Salt has recommended me to leave
*one* "Device" and "Screen" sections in my xorg.conf. I modified my
configuration and it could not help my situation. I still am unable to
properly use two monitors (i.e. drag aplication windows from one screen to
another ), the whole thing works in a "cloning" mode, i.e. windows
open/resize/etc. on both screens simultaneously. This is not what I'd love
to have.

Followed is my current configuration:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XorgLayout"
Screen 0 "Dual Screen" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "UseDefaultFontPath" "off"
Option "Xinerama" "off"
EndSection

Section "Files"
RgbPath "/etc/X11/rgb"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X12/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi"
EndSection

Section "Module"
Load "glx"
Load "extmod"
Load "record"
Load "dri"
Load "dbe"
Load "GLcore"
Load "xtrap"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Dell E172FP"
VendorName "Dell"
Option "DPMS" "on"
Option "RightOf" "Dell E1909W"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Dell E1909W"
VendorName "Dell"
Option "DPMS" "on"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Radeon HD 3450"
Driver "radeon"
VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc"
BoardName "RV620"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Dual Screen"
Device "Radeon HD 3450"
Monitor "Dell E172FP"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Virtual 2600 2050
EndSubSection
EndSection

Is there anything else I could try? Thanks in advance.
