I have two monitors but they are showing the same thing. I could make my second monitor "extend" the other one in gnome, I could do it in KDE too. It isn't possible in XFCE, well I don't see that option in the settings panel. I have to make a xorg conf file, unless someone shows me an app that does the same thing and doesn't require gnome or any other DE. I have tried to write my own conf file, but it failed.
Here is my conf file:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "DualSreen"
Screen 0 "Screen0"
Screen 1 "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0" #Screen1 at the right of Screen0
Option "Xinerama" "1" #To move windows between screens
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
Option "Enable" "true"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor1"
Option "Enable" "true"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "ati"
Screen 0
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "TwinView" "0"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1920x1200_60.00"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen1"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor1"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "TwinView" "0"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1920x1200_60.00"
EndSubSection
EndSection
I have an ATI card and I use the ATI driver (xf86-video-ati). I have two 1920x1200 px monitors. I have only one graphic card, so I should have only one device section, right? If you need any information, please ask me. I really appreciate your help, thank you.

The xfce tool unfortunately still can't do it.
But xrandr can:
chris@chrisl ~ % xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3280 x 1050, maximum 4000 x 4000
LVDS connected 1600x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 382mm x 214mm
1600x900 60.3*+
1440x900 60.3
1280x768 60.3
1280x720 60.3
1024x768 60.3
1024x600 60.3
800x600 60.3
800x480 60.3
640x480 60.3
DFP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
CRT1 connected 1680x1050+1600+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 433mm x 271mm
1680x1050 60.0*+
1400x1050 60.0
1280x1024 75.0 60.0
1440x900 60.0
1280x960 75.0 60.0
1280x800 75.0 60.0
1152x864 60.0 75.0
1280x768 75.0 60.0
1280x720 75.0 60.0
1024x768 75.0 70.1 60.0
1024x600 75.0 70.1 60.0
800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3
800x480 72.2 75.0 60.3
640x480 75.0 72.8 67.0 59.9
640x350 60.0 70.1
So from that output I see the output names and the supported resolutions and I can do
xrandr --output CRT1 --mode 1680x1050 --right-of LVDS
to activate it.
GUI tools are arandr or zarfy (the gui doesn't work very well for me) or urandr.

xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1920x1200 --right-of VGA-0
It works, yay!

It doesn't work when I add it to Session and Startup's Application Autostart, though.
My xmodmap command doesn't work neither, while it is working when I type it manually. Is it because XFCE is calling xmodmap itself?
What can I do then?
Edit: I've put it in my .xprofile file but it doesn't work.
