SOLUTION
The xorg.conf that CCC configures, even when xinerama is disabled, does not work with RandR. I gutted everything so only my primary monitor was in xorg.conf, then added the line 'Virtual' where appropriate with the correct square size of my total monitor space. xrandr then detects everything fine, and was able to use xrandr to get the screens working. Openbox only needs one session. Life is good.

Hi,
I'm moving from Xinerama (Which worked well for most things) to RandR. To get randr loading first thing I did was disable Xinerama in Catalyst Control Centre, restarted X.
My xorg.conf (Generated by CCC) has all monitors and modes listed correctly, and my middle (Primary) monitor (DFP5) works fine. My two sides, DFP9 and DFP10, are blank. I can move the cursor over to them, but that's about it.
xrandr does not appear to detect DFP9 and DFP10 as being connected.
I am using catalyst-total from AUR.
I've included all info I think may be helpful.
EDIT:
Seems my main issue was that Openbox needs a session on each X screen. So I can now use each X screen, but I can't alt tab across every window because the sessions don't talk to each other. randr still does not work though.
