The config looks good.  The only thing that I notice is that you specify
Modes "1440x900" which may be limiting the usable modes.  I would remove
that and just let xrandr dtrt.  I haven't actually tried dual head with
the nouveau driver, though it should work.  Your Virtual entry appears
to be sized reasonably to enable the second display.

Are you using my kernel patch?  It shouldn't be relevant to your issue,
just curious.  This is going to be an issue with the DDX driver, if it
still won't work.
