Don't you have one of the major desktop environments like Gnome or KDE
running? There are graphical XRandr-Wrapper for most of them:
x11-misc/arandr, x11-apps/grandr, rox-extra/resolution,
lxde-base/lxrandr and kde-base/kephal, just to name a few. That would
spare us from testing and providing command line options for you.

Anyway, try something like:
xrandr --output DVI-0 --right-of VGA-0

Hope this helps,
