Struggling with adding another monitor. With Arandr I can set both
monitors working so, that I can drag programs ffrom monitor to another.
BUT, monitors are in wrong order. I have DVI-0 and VGA-0, from same card

VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV370
[Radeon X300]

xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 4096 x 4096
VGA-0 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 338mm x 270mm
   1280x1024     60.02*+  75.02    72.05  
   1152x864      75.00  
   1024x768      75.08    70.07    60.00  
   832x624       74.55  
   800x600       72.19    75.00    60.32    56.25  
   640x480       75.00    72.81    66.67    60.00  
   720x400       70.08  
DVI-0 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 376mm x 301mm
   1280x1024     60.02*+  75.02    72.05  
   1152x864      75.00  
   1024x768      75.08    70.07    60.00  
   832x624       74.55  
   800x600       72.19    75.00    60.32    56.25  
   640x480       75.00    72.81    66.67    60.00  
   720x400       70.08  
S-video disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

xrandr --output VGA0 --right-of DVI-0
warning: output VGA0 not found; ignoring

As said, I can make these monitors working with ARANDR, but when opning
xfce4 again, have to configure monitors again.

Tried to configure xorg.conf, no worky...

Googled much, but didn't found any help... Many people with different
distros same troubles, no solution.

Anybody experienced with this?
