Get rid of xorg.conf, reboot, then run xrandr.. xorg.conf hasn't been needed in quite a while, and it might interfere with xrandr.
Ok, so now I try to run this and it just shows me the help. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I have a 1920x1080 monitor on the left in landscape connected to the first DVI port on my first video card, and another 1920x1080 monitor on the right in portrait connected to HDMI on my second video card.
xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x420 --ouput HDMI-1 --mode 1920x1080 --rotate right --pos 1920x0
Here's my xrandr --prop:

I found nvidia-xconfig to be pretty good for setting up the displays here. I don't think xrandr works with the nvidia blob so it might be a better option.
This trys to make an xorg.conf, but I'm under the impression that that's a bad idea?
EDIT: I fixed it with this xrandr command:
xrandr --output DVI-I-2 --pos 0x420 --ouput HDMI-0 --rotate right --pos 1920x0
and changing my monitors to being plugged into the same card.

Also, this happens when I run xranr, and I can't seem to find anything online about it.
RANDR extension missing
Thanks.
