[wmii] Separate Wmii instances on Matrox Millennium G450 DualHead

Not quite sure what i'm doing wrong here. I want 2 separate instances
of wmii running on my dual monitor setup. I'm not concerned about
dragging windows from screen to screen, but I am concerned with each x
server being able to accept my mouse and keyboard commands.

It seems no matter what I do, my Secondary screen on the right of me
can interact fully with my mouse and keyboard, but the primary screen
in front of me can only interact with the mouse. It will not accept
any keyboard commands. And while the mouse can be dragged over to that
screen, it will not click on 'nil'. Mod+P doesn't work on the primary
screen to bring up dmenu, I can't open a terminal there, nothing.

I've created an ~/.xinitrc file and placed the following in it:

DISPLAY=:0.0 wmii &
DISPLAY=:0.1 exec wmii

I've played with it and changed it around a few times:
Code:

DISPLAY=:0.0 wmii &
DISPLAY=:0.1 exec wmii &

and this:

DISPLAY=:0.0 wmii &
DISPLAY=:0.1 wmii &

but those didn't work either.

Here's the relevant parts of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf
