dual monitor problem

[Nicolas Mommaerts]

That doesn't seem to work for me. I copied the xinitrc file from
/etc/xfce4 to ~/.xfce/xinitrc and then added two lines
export DISPLAY=:0.1
export DISPLAY=:0.0
to the top of the xinitrc script and changed the lines that start xfce
to those that dan radom suggested. I don't see any difference. Am i
doing something wrong here?
