Hi Andre,
I also had a lot of trouble getting my system just right. I did lots of
playing with xorg.conf and with two screens from the built in graphics
controller of my CPU and this is my final config (two monitors but just one
screen)...
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "HDMI1"
VendorName "Samsung"
ModelName "?"
Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080"
Option "RightOf" "HDMI2"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "HDMI2"
VendorName "BenQ"
ModelName "?"
Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080"
Option "LeftOf" "HDMI1"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "MotherboardVideo"
Driver "intel"
VendorName "Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen
Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen"
Device "MotherboardVideo"
Monitor "HDMI2"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1920x1080" "1920x1080"
Virtual 3840 1080
EndSubSection
EndSection
I got the identifiers from the "xrandr" info, so looking at yours, you'd
probably have "DisplayPort-0", "HDMI-0" and "DVI-0" where I have "HDMI1" and
"HDMI2"
Nice things was no Xinerama which seems to be the preferred way!

Hi David,
Hm. I am not using two GPUs. Just one Radeon HD 6870 with four outputs, of
which three are used. My other E-Mail in reply to Elv1313 contains my
xorg.conf and an xrandr output. Maybe there is something borked there, but I
didn't have such problems before.
Regards
Andre
