Problem with 2nd Monitor and 2nd xorg

Hello,
I want to use my laptop (Samsung Q35, intel i915 graphics) also with a 2nd tft monitor. But because i have a widescreen resolution on my laptop display, i want to have a second xserver on the second monitor (I got the tft left of the laptop display working, but there are a lot of problems because of the different resolutions, e.g. the panel changes from one to the other display, programs aren't started at the correct display...). Now i can change the monitors using fn+f4, from "only laptop display" to "only tft display" to "both displays".
When i start a new xserver using "startx -- :1.0" or " X :1 -layout LCD" it starts on the the same display as the "old" xserver, i can change them using ctrl+alt+f7 / ctrl+alt+f8. But i want, that each of this two xservers just runs on a different screen.

Here is my actual xorg.conf, i tried a lot of changes, but nothing worked:
