Update to the problem. This is a copy of my response on the devel discuss mailing list where I was also asking about this.
Well I got it [Screens and Graphics] to detect both monitors for a little bit. At first all it would show was my secondary monitor (which was not activated) when I pressed detect. After I set the correct resolution and restarted the x server, It showed a second monitor which I presumed to be my laptop's monitor. After I set that resolution, I tried to reset the x server again and got the following error: /etc/gdm/failsavexserver: line47 [: too many arguments warning: could not retrieve EDID because set-edid is not installed (1): error: this program does not know how to configure the "10 shared/default-x-server doesnt exist."
