Used xrandr commands in .xsessionrc.

peter@dalton:~$ cat .xsessionrc
# dalton:/home/peter/.xsessionrc created 2014-12-10.
#xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto
xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1280x960 --rate 85.0
xrandr --output DVI-0 --auto --right-of VGA-0

> You would need to reconfigure. 

I read the xrandr manual and added --screen parameters.
xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1280x960 --rate 85.0 --screen 0
xrandr --output DVI-0 --auto --right-of VGA-0 --screen 1

No luck.  The DVI screen is overlaid on the VGA.  The display is worse.
I didn't find an error message.  Seems that my revised .xsessionrc is 
syntactically correct.

Is xrandr capable of setting the screen numbers as suggested above.  
If so, a tip will help.  If not, what approach might work?

Thanks,                       ... Peter E.
