F17 display problem

[Mark Haney]

I just installed F17 on my new 8-core AMD Phenom II server. The problem 
I had after rebooting is a display that is shifted to the right by 2/3s 
the width of the display.  Like this:

I did a little googling last night and it appears the problem is due to 
the video card I have.  It's a PCEe x16 Radeon card with DVI/HDMI/VGA 
outputs.  According to what I read xorg is seeing and configuring those 
outputs and screwing up the display in the process.  The fix was to 
disable those unused outputs and all should be well.

My question is, if xorg.conf is dynamically generated every time you 
boot, how on earth can I keep the displays disabled across boots?
