As already mentioned, you want to enable the Xinerama extension. I'm not 
sure how this is done on SUSE using their GUI and other stuff. But you 
can edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and in the "ServerLayout" Section 
you can add an Option line that turns it off. Here is an example from a 
working xorg.conf file that has Xinerama turned on.


Section "ServerLayout"
     Identifier     "Multihead layout"
     Screen      0  "Screen0" LeftOf "Screen1"
     Screen      1  "Screen1" 0 0
     InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
     InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
     Option         "Xinerama" "on"
     Option         "Clone" "on"
EndSection

Hope this helps.
