Sorry, I should have explained. I can't get this to work when it says 
"Device1". I know that it *should* say "Device1" but X crashes when I 
do. I temporarily set it to "Device0" because X works like that, but as 
you can imagine, it doesn't actually split the monitors, it just makes a 
clone.

In other words, The following "works" (but the external monitor is just 
a clone):

Section "Screen"
          Identifier      "Screen0"
          Device          "Device0"
          ...
Section "Screen"
          Identifier      "Screen1"
          Device          "Device0"


And the following makes X crash:

Section "Screen"
          Identifier      "Screen0"
          Device          "Device0"
          ...
Section "Screen"
          Identifier      "Screen1"
          Device          "Device1"


:-(

Cheers,
Daniel.
