I got f13 booting again... below is the output of xrandr under f13.
It is the same as under f12, except for the lines that start with DVI.
In f13, DVI-I-0 is replaced with DVI-I-1 and DVI-I-1 is replaced with
DVI-I-2.  Also, the x offset of the displays are changed reflecting
the fact that f13 swaps left and right displays on my system relative
to what f12 does.

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2960 x 1050, maximum 4096 x 4096
DVI-I-1 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y
axis) 376mm x 301mm
   1280x1024      60.0*+   75.0
   1152x864       75.0
   1024x768       75.1     60.0
   800x600        75.0     60.3
   640x480        75.0     60.0
   720x400        70.1
DVI-I-2 connected 1680x1050+1280+0 (normal left inverted right x axis
y axis) 473mm x 296mm
   1680x1050      60.0*+
   1280x1024      75.0     60.0
   1152x864       75.0
   1024x768       75.1     60.0
   800x600        75.0     60.3
   640x480        75.0     60.0
   720x400        70.1

Swapping the cables fixes the problem, but it would be nice if
system-config-display would allow my to do it through software.

Cheers,
