MonitorLayout is the only way.
If it's the only way do you know if there is a way to specify something
like radeonlayout=LVDS,NONE as a boot parameter that gets automagically
inserted into the X config?

Instead, query X.Org bugzilla for an existing report which has
various
dupes closed against it, and CC yourself on that bug to track any
progress.
Will do that. Thanks for the pointer.
I'm not sure if anyone upstream is currently working on a
solution to
this long standing problem or not, but it'll likely be sorted out
eventually. Until then, MonitorLayout specified manually by the user
is the only option, or sticking with a much older (and no longer
supported) OS release that predates the display detection code going
to hell. ;o)
Nah that's no option. I'm rather attached to the latest and greatest
with all its oddities :)
Thanks,
