I user this xorg configuration to get it:

Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
#Option "TwinView" "true"
#Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30.0-70.0"
#Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "48.0-100.0"
#Option "MetaModes" "1024x768,1440x900"
#Option "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf"
#Option "Xinerama" "on"

Just uncomment these lines:
#Option "TwinView" "true"
#Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30.0-70.0"
#Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "48.0-100.0"
#Option "MetaModes" "1024x768,1440x900"
#Option "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf"
#Option "Xinerama" "on"
An select the metamodes for your monitor / proyector configuration...
I think I found the nfo about this in the forums... I don't remember
where... just put TwinView in the search option of the forums it will
give you much more info.
