It's really more of an X question than a FreeBSD question, and I don't
know much about dual-head configurations (other than that I'd like
one), but I notice a couple of things.  

First, you don't seem to be running the latest X release.  That's
definitely worth trying, and checking through the XFree86 mailing
lists for information would be the most like way to find a lead.

Second, you seem to be configuring for a G400 rather than a G450.
They're enough different that the latter isn't supported in XFree86
3.x at all, so tweak that if you can.

Good luck.
