Need help with configuring multi-monitor with AMD SurroundView.

I've just installed Arch and need help with configuring multi-monitor with AMD SurroundView.

I'm using the radeon driver and SurroundView is being used with HD 7770 GPU and the integrated graphics from my Gigabyte 78LMT-S2 motherboard.

When I was using Linux Mint both monitors were detected and working automatically since I've connected them to my PC, but Arch didn't seem to detect the second monitor (the one connected to internal graphics card) at all.

I've managed to create a xorg.conf file that makes both screens work, but I can't move windows between monitors.
Again it has been working on Mint so I'm sure it's possible.

Here is my xorg.conf: pastebin
Here is my screenfetch: pastebin (yeah, I know it's probably not needed for anything)

Google doesn't help, unfortunately.
Uncommenting the "Option "Xinerama"" line makes login screen not show at all.

(If anyone doesn't know - SurroundView is a function on some motherboards that makes you able to use both your GPU and your integrated GPU simultaneously so you can connect another monitor.)
