With some further research, I have determined that it was only luck
that the randr config was right without Xinerama: it turns out the X
ignores most of what I want to say, whether or not Xinerama is enabled.

What I want to do is to specify the position of one monitor, relative
to the other, statically in xorg.conf.

Like this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "FireMV 2200"
        Driver          "radeon"
        Option          "Monitor-DVI-0" "205BW"
        Option          "Monitor-DVI-1" "152v"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "205BW"
        Option          "PreferredMode"         "1680x1050"
EndSection


Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "152v"
        Option          "PreferredMode"         "1024x768"
#       Option          "Above" "DVI-0"
#        Option          "Above" "205BW"
#       Option          "LeftOf"        "DVI-0"
#       Option          "Left Of"       "DVI-0"
#       Option          "LeftOf"        "205BW"
#       Option          "Left Of"       "205BW"
#       Option          "Position"      "200 200"
EndSection

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The PreferredMode settings work; the commented-out position ones do not.
The default position is on the right, so I was testing with left and above.
But whatever I do, it goes to the right.

I have found conflicting sources about the exact syntax (ie. LeftOf or
Left Of,
output name or monitor name), so I have tried a few configurations, but no
success.

The virtual size is configured large enough to hold all possible modes.

So, how do I configure randr positions from xorg.conf, with current X &
radeon?
The run-time on-the-fly configuration works fine, but I can not use it
when using
Xinerama, so I need to do this from xorg.conf.

Thank you for your help:
