RandR + dual head - debugging

1400x1050+1680x1050... then I execute:

andree at andree:~$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3080 x 1050, maximum 3080 x 1050
VGA-0 connected 1680x1050+1400+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

   1280x800       60.0
   1280x768       60.0
   1024x768       60.0
   800x600        60.3
   640x480        59.9
S-video disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)



....yet the VGA-0 is surely not placed on the right of LVDS and it is looking 
like a mirror of LVDS. The monitor says it is at 1280x1024 - note that xrandr 
says something completely different ;-(


I managed to fix the wine behaviour by forcing it to use xvidmode instead of 
xrandr. Well - at least it works if the app isn't trying to change screen 
resolution (I don't need that functionality anyway), which I didn't test... I 
guess that when wine uses some RandR 'command' (even just to discover the 
resolutions), the same thing happens as when calling the xrandr...
