This is just an effect of misconfiguration of your environment. LXDE probably have been set up and now use that configuration every time booted. Just run `arandr' or `lxrandr' or whatever you have there. Set up the screens there and save configuration. Depending on the program you choose it probably have a way for bringing back saved screen configuration. As for `arandr' it is simply shell script, which can be run directly.
