Interesting. I will see if I can try it in the next few days.
I attached gzipped xorg.conf I used, if that is of any interest. It's not the prettiest config since 
I cannibalized one that I found lying around ;-)

By the way, F12 displayed bunch of kernel [drm] messages (only!) on the third screen during boot 
process (no failures, just regular messages). I can provide photo of the messages on request.

I'll try with latest F13 build and see what I get this time.
