 I'd recommend trying the "xf86cfg" program that comes with XFree86.
It's in a separate package (XFree86-xf86cfg) which you will probably
need to install as it's omitted by default.

 X has been able to do multi-head for over a decade.  The Windows
world has just discovered the idea, and in true commercial fashion
has come up with several implementations (one per vendor).

 Using xf86cfg should allow to choose which way around the screens
fit together (well, you have to tell it which is left and which is
right -- DDC doesn't quite cut it :o)
