I have a dual-monitor Windows 8.1 host machine setup. Running VirtualBox 4.2.18. The Gentoo guest setup is pretty much done. Shared folders working, networking happy, etc. The problem I'm having is the dual-monitor setup. It always puts both monitors on a single screen, and the second monitor cloning the first.
I've tried allowing xorg to just autodetect, as well as attempting to define an xorg.conf file. The configuration file is having no effect. What I want is for each monitor to be set to a separate screen. Not a cloned screen, as is the default regardless of the xorg.conf changes I make. I'm running KDE for the window manager, and it's also not saving my display changes in the control center for my user. So after I get everything mostly fixed, save for the single screen with two monitors, I can log out and back in and I'm back to running a cloned display.
Any ideas? I've tried turning on Xinerama, to no effect. And I can't seem to find a way to use xrandr to tell my system there is a second screen, and to pop the second monitor over to it. Here is my xorg.conf:
