xinerama: why right screen off at boot ? (gdm restart, then on)


Hello,
I set up the xinirama.
At the pc boot, (switch on the machine), the right screen vga is OFF. then
the /etc/init.d/gdm restart makes both right and left screen working and ON (right vga screen is now on).

How to make the xinerama works at boot without any /etc/init.d/gdm restart ?

thank you for the hint !
