Yes, I needed a virtual line. I added that. Now, my xorg.xonf looks
like:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "radeon"
BusID "PCI:2:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Virtual 2560 1024
EndSubSection
EndSection

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2560 x 1024, maximum 2560 x 1024
DVI-1 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 376mm
x 301mm
1280x1024 60.0*+ 75.0
1024x768 75.0 72.0 70.1 60.0
800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2
640x480 75.0 72.8 59.9
720x400 70.1
DVI-0 connected 1280x1024+1280+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
376mm x 301mm
1280x1024 60.0*+ 75.0
1024x768 75.0 72.0 70.1 60.0
800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2
640x480 75.0 72.8 59.9
720x400 70.1
I then tried the following command:
xrandr --output DVI-1 --auto --output DVI-0 --auto --right-of DVI-1
I notice the mouse 'move' to next screen and dwm in the current screen
becomes 'inactive' (e.g. no clock, etc).
But the second screen is still blank.
I tried 'radeonhd' driver but the output of xrandr shows second monitor
as disconnected.
Thanks for the help.
