Another workaround:

Make the necessary changes to the layout with ARandR, save layout as
yadayada.sh (or whatever name you prefer), define yadayada.sh as a
startup application (after making it executable).

You will have messy screen layout until entering the password (with my
layout, I have to do this without seeing anything unless I turn the TV
on), but after that it should look exactly the way you want it to. At
least that's what I got.

I don't have a solution yet how to start the script before the login
screen, but this is probably no rocket science either.

I came across this workaround after I'd been facing that nasty issue
with a GeForce card, and it persisted after I used an ATI instead (at
first I'd thought it might be related to the NVidia driver in some way).

By the way, I don't have xorg.conf and monitors.xml anymore. I didn't
have monitors.xml with GeForce either, but I did have xorg.conf before.
Doesn't matter to me now.
