>From my xorg.conf:

Section "Monitor"
         Identifier   "DVI-0"
         VendorName   "HWP"
         ModelName    "2615"
         Option       "PreferredMode" "1920x1200"
         Option       "RightOf" "DVI-1"
         Option       "Position" "1280 0"
         Option       "Primary" "On"
         Option       "DPMS" "Off"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
         Identifier   "DVI-1"
         VendorName   "SAM"
         ModelName    "215"
         Option       "PreferredMode" "1280x1024"
         Option       "LeftOf" "DVI-0"
         Option       "Position" "0 0"
         Option       "DPMS" "Off"
EndSection

With the latest commit to 10-STABLE, this no longer has any effect, nor 
does running an xrandr command to do the same thing in .xinitrc.  It is 
necessary to run that command separately after X has started:

xrandr --output DVI-0 --primary --mode 1920x1200 --pos 1080x0 --output DVI-1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0 --rotate left

The interesting thing is that this was working until I updated 10-STABLE 
today, and had been working for the last few months.  Before that, it 
did not work, exactly the same as now.

I don't know what is changing that affects this, but would really like 
to find out.
