Xfce with 2 Monitors

I'm using Xfce version 4.6.2 with Debian Squeeze, I installed it from Debian's repository.
Hardware is a Dell M6500 Laptop with a dedicated ATI video card, I'm using the Xorg AMD/ATI Radeon display driver.

I've 2 DVI monitors connected to the DVI ports of the docking station, and, of course, the notebook display itself:

VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

Now I'm trying to use the 2 DVI monitors, one on the left of the desk and one on the right side, what works, but with duplicated screens. I'd like to have two independent screens (I don't mind if I need two Xservers for this).

It worked with gnome on the same hardware before.

I'd appreciate any help.
