xorg - help with rotation on dual monitor setup

i have two monitors that im trying to get rotated properly but im having some trouble. i think its easiest to list out what i have going on here...

1. im using a BFG nvidia geforce 7600 with the nvidia driver, and everything on the system is up to date
2. everything works fine when i just put the monitors in their normal 1280x1024 side by side
3. when i put Option "Rotate" "CCW" in the device section (as seen in the config below), i get my left monitor rotated nicely and my right monitor is rotated as well but it is setup as if it is below my left monitor.
4. when i take out the setting from #3 and use Option "RandRRotation" "true" im started into normal side-by-side like in #2, then using xrandr -o left will get me the same result as #3 with right monitor below left.
5. <a href="http://briancurtin.com/linux/Xorg.0.log">here is my Xorg.0.log</a> and <a href="http://briancurtin.com/linux/xorg.conf">here is my xorg.conf</a>.

ideally i'd like to use the setup in #3 but have the monitors be side-by-side in orientation, so that i can move the mouse off of the right edge of left monitor into the right monitor, rather than having to go to the bottom edge and having it magically appear on the right monitor. if thats confusing i can draw it up.

is this possible? any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: xorg - help with rotation on dual monitor setup

im kind of thinking now that i cant do this
the desktop is seen as just one big desktop stretched across two monitors...so when you rotate/xrandr it, its going to do the same and assume you stack your two monitors on top of each other.
i think im right, but can anyone confirm that?
