xorg.conf (help)
Got 2 screens on my computer, a 22" Samsung on DVI and a 40" Sony on HDMI.
1. My 40" TV automatically becomes the primary screen. I want my 22" as primary.
2. I want extended desktop configured in the xorg.conf since i need to use the xorg.conf anyway (better to have all settings in one place) 40" to the right of 22"
3. Resolution as follows. 22": 1680x1050 40": 1920x1080
4. I want both screens in same xorg.conf (merge the two i have)
Did a "X -configure" with both screens connected, and one with just 22" connected. Seems it didn't detect 2 screens with both connected. Hope someone can help me with the setup 
Don't want more changes to these files than necessary, so i can easily remember what to to next time i do a "X -configure"
Only 22" connected during "X -configure"

Re: xorg.conf (help)
why even use an xorg.conf?
Simply putting a xrandr command in your .xinitrc file does the trick. 10-monitor.conf can handle the resolution - if it is not automatically detected.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

Should i write it at the bottom? Nothing more than "xrandr"?
I want extended desktop, with the right resolution also in login screen, not just after logging in. Also want to choos which is primary and which screen is on which side.
Just so you know, i'm a noob, only been using linux for a few weeks.

Re: xorg.conf (help)
'man xrandr' has some examples to help you start.

Re: xorg.conf (help)
Gonna try this in xorg.conf and xinitrc.
xinitrc (to get 40" to the right of 22")
xrandr --output DVI-1 --auto --right-of DVI-0xorg.conf (to set primary screen and get the right resolution at login screen also, not only the desktop after login)

Re: xorg.conf (help)
like I mentioned earlier, you do not need to have an xorg.conf. Simply the xrandr command in xinitrc should work. Make sure you call it before the call to your window manager.
