Okay, the answer came from here:
http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12

My /etc/X11/xorg.conf is:

Section "Device"
   Identifier "ati-5450"
   Option "VGA-0" "left"
   Option "DVI-0" "right"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
   Identifier "left"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
   Identifier "right"
   Option "RightOf" "left"
EndSection

This does what I want.  Thanks Debian documenters!
