I also have two screens, altough, I have two graphic cards ...
It seems to me that in you XF86Config-4-file, you have to specify wich
screen uses wich connector, and then, at the bottom, in the Server
section I have this line (I suppose if you switch it, the monitors will
switch too):
Screen "Default Screen"
Screen "Screen2" LeftOf "Default Screen"
Good luck
