LXDE problem with dual monitor


this:
Code:
xrandr --output DVI-0 --primary --mode 1600x1200  --pos 0x0 --output HDMI-0 --mode 1920x1080  --pos 1600x0
doesn't seem to work properly. because some applications like 'lxsession-logout', which is very important for logout and shutdown, ignores '--primary' option and displays its stuff on HDMI-0 instead of DVI-0

how to solve it?
thanks.

It seems you're using an ATI driver. I thought that perhaps you use nvidia binary driver which only just started fully supporting xrandr in beta version but it doesn't seem to be case here.
