i3 Multi-headed not working

I have i3 setup and working on monitor however my second montior doesn't allow me to interact with it.

I can move the cursor to the second screen but I cannot get any i3 interaction with it.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf is as follows

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier     "aticonfig Layout"
	Screen      0  "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
	Screen         "aticonfig-Screen[0]-1" RightOf "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"
EndSection

Section "Module"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier   "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
	Option	    "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
	Option	    "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
	Option	    "DPMS" "true"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier   "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-1"
	Option	    "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
	Option	    "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
	Option	    "DPMS" "true"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
	Option 	    "TearFree" "on"
	Driver      "fglrx"
	BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "aticonfig-Device[0]-1"
	Option	    "TearFree" "on"
	Driver      "fglrx"
	BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
	Screen      1
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"
	Device     "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
	Monitor    "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
	DefaultDepth     24
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     24
	EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-1"
	Device     "aticonfig-Device[0]-1"
	Monitor    "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-1"
	DefaultDepth     24
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     24
		Modes "1440x900"
	EndSubSection
EndSection

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf is as follows

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier  "HDMI-0"
	Option      "PreferredMode" "1920x1080"
	Option      "Position" "0 0"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier  "DVI-0"
	Modeline    "1440x900_60.00"  106.50  1440 1528 1672 1904  900 903 909 934 -hsync +vsync
	Option      "PreferredMode" "1440x900"
	Option      "Position" "1920 180"
EndSection

any advice on getting i3 on the second display?
