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.
