You definitely have to have a Screen section specifying that monitor.
You may need to start X with some options to specify it; I haven't
ever gotten that "up close and personal" with XF86Config, though.

Have you tried running XF86Setup and brethren with the external
monitor connected?

Play, yes, FM, seems like there's only the source for this kind of
thing.
