Try enabling the xinerama extension:

You have:

Option "Xinerama" "off"

Should be:

Option "Xinerama" "on"

no, it did not work. I turned clone off and xinerama on. started gnome, only primary screen is working. Any idea?

Now that you changed the xinerama option, restart X or the computer, then run system-config-display and configure the monitors.
