dual monitor problem, using xrandr. black sreen

Hi, just wondering if anyone has this type of problem and has any solution for it. I have a CRT monitor and I am trying to connect it to my PC using a DVI adapter. I tried to configure dual monitor by using xrandr. It seems to be  working, the wallpaper in my main monitor seemed to be stretch to the other monitor, the problem is the other monitor (CRT) is just showing a black screen. This is the command that I used:

 xrandr --verbose --output VGA-0 --mode 1440x900 --rate 60 --output DVI-0 --mode 1024x768 --rate 60 --right-of VGA-0

Can ayone help me? I can provide my xorg.conf if it's needed

If you have connected monitor over D-Sub (VGA) and trying to connect other over DVI->D-Sub adaptor, it will not be DVI-0, but VGA-1.
