have a look under the screen section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf there
should be a few sub sections called "Display" if you remove all the
subsections but the one that you need I believe it would work by
defaulting to the only one which you have defined.
My "Screen" section for the second monitor looks something like this:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen1"
Device "ATI GC1"
Monitor "Monitor1"
DefaultDepth 24
#Option "backingstore"
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024"
ViewPort 0 0 # initial origin if mode is smaller than desktop
# Virtual 1280 1024
EndSubsection
EndSection
Hope this helps
