Xinerama is the X module that does what you want (i.e. "extend" your desktop to multiple monitors) but it seems that this is impossible when DRI is enabled.  If you can live with that (no DRI) then comment out the DRI and GLX stuff as well as the current ServerLayout on my Xorg.conf and uncomment the "DualHeaded" server layout.  You should have what you need at the next restart.
