Thank you.

 But is the same solutions that  Andre gave us before. The only 
diference is that
your default Layout is Single Head. Therefore in order to start the 
Dual-Head
you pass it by the command line.  Maybe you can also start in Duah-Head
and choose wich is/are active with the Function Buttons (In my Laptop R40
is  Fn+F7).
  I still think that my problem is in other place maybe in the 
'gdm.conf' or in
the 'xdm-conf' (depend wich MW you are using).
  Can you people send me you 'gdm.conf' or 'xdm-conf'.

            Thank
                 Gusti

 By the way, you second Layout (Singlehead) is the same like the deafult, I
think you can remove it.
