I've been using stumpwm with both dual display and Xinerama/mergedfb
setup and it works fine.

Maybe try C-t ; snext or sprev, if it moves the focus from one screen to
the other it means Xinerama is not activated and you have 2 separate
displays. You can also try to eval *screen-list* (C-t : *screen-list*),
if you get a list of more than one element it means you are not in
Xinerama mode. If there's only one, try to eval (screen-heads
(current-screen)), it will tell you how many heads stumpwm sees for this
screen. If there's only one, it means it only manages one head, so
there's a problem somewhere.

For the record, here's what I get with my dual head mergedFB setup:

STUMPWM> *screen-list*
(#S<screen #<XLIB:SCREEN :0.0 3280x1200x24 TRUE-COLOR>>)
STUMPWM> (screen-heads (current-screen))
(#S(frame 0 NIL 0 0 1680 1050) #S(frame 1 NIL 1680 0 1600 1200))

Hope that helps.
