I believe you have to run whatever tool you use (mine is an Nvidia card) to set up both monitors as root. This means sudo <tool name> Then once you have it set up, have the tool save the settings. If you happen to use an Nvidia card and would like more specifics, please let me know. Personally, it does not bother me to set it up each time. This is largely due to the fact that I don't have to restart Linux during the work day. I only have to set it up once in the morning and it works all day.
