Default Multi-monitor, dualhead setup

Hi all,

finally took some time to sort out multi-head setup of X, I had to create following file,
because xrandr complained about he virtual screen size not being big enough:

/usr/X11R6/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-virtual.conf

Code:
# to change the virtual buffer/screen:
Section "Screen"
        Identifier "default"
   SubSection "Display"
        Virtual 3200 1200
   EndSubSection
EndSection
The special super-duper passphrase to get this to work is the Identifier line. X will of course not default to default, unless you tell it to... FFS!

I then run the following xrandr commands:
Code:
xrandr --output VGA-0 --primary
xrandr --verbose --fb 3200x1200 --output DVI-0 --right-of VGA-0
I'm using the default 'radeon' driver for OpenBSD 5.3 (the old default used to be 'radeonold')

Now I just need to figure out how to get the display resolutions to the correct setting when my desktop session starts. Feedback on this is most welcome.

dmesg | grep vga
Code:
vga1 at pci4 dev 0 function 0 "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4300" rev 0x00
