... and following my recent experience start with:

euse -i xinerama

BTW, I do have an xorg file in which among other things I have defined two 
monitors:

Section "Monitor"
        #DisplaySize      360   290     # mm
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "NEC"
        ModelName    "NEC LCD1860NX"
        HorizSync    31.0 - 82.0
        VertRefresh  55.0 - 85.0
        Option       "PreferredMode"  "1280x1024"
        Option       "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        #DisplaySize      510   290     # mm
        Identifier   "Monitor1"
        VendorName   "DEL"
        ModelName    "DELL ST2320L"
        HorizSync    56.0 - 76.0
        VertRefresh  30.0 - 83.0
        Option       "PreferredMode"  "1920x1080"
        Option       "RightOf" "Monitor0"
        Option       "DPMS"
EndSection

and under Section "Device" I have:

        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "radeon"
        BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
        Option  "monitor-VGA-0" "Monitor0"
        Option  "monitor-DVI-0" "Monitor1"

but these are historical.  I have not tried removing them to see what happens.
