Then your TwinView configuration does not match your wishes.  You
could start experimenting with something like

  Option "TwinView" 
  Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60"
  Option "MetaModes" "640x480, 640x480"
  Option "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf"

in the "Screen" section of XF86Config.  (I did not test that.)  You
will have 640x480 on your monitor then, however.  Different
resolutions on both screens are possible, but I do not know, if -fs
will work with them without problems.

Have fun,

Carsten
