Remove the comment before the 'Load "extmod"' line, you will probably need that.

If that doesn't fix it, post your X log, please!

You should use MTRR (configure your kernel: turn on CONFIG_MTRR). Also, you should take a look at the README that comes with the driver on more information regarding multiple monitors/displays. Your Xinerama configuration is not correct, AFAIC. (It might be a good idea to start with configuring one display, so you know the driver works properly and then move on to the more advanced stuff. ;-)
