What does your /etc/X11/XF86Config say?
I have (on my three headed xinerama setup)
Section "ServerLayout"
   Option       "Clone" "off"
   Option       "Xinerama" "on"
   Screen       "Screen[0]"
   Screen       "Screen[1]" RightOf "Screen[0]"
   Screen       "Screen[2]" RightOf "Screen[1]"

Might it be that you have to fiddle with that setting?
