It won't work because the Screen section below specifies only one screen Screen 0. You need to also setup Screen 1 with the required resolution, otherwise the resolution of your monitor would be replicated at the second screen output. The bind together the setup for the second screen in the "ServerLayout" section. I really think you should read man xorg.conf. PS.
