I don't know the answer to your specific question, but...
If you're running KDE you can set the default with KRandRTray which will
create ~/.kde/share/config/krandrrc containing:-
[Display]
ApplyOnStartup=true
StartupCommands=xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --mode 1920x1200 --pos 0x0
--output DVI-I-2 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1920x0
It'll also creat the appropriate [screen_0] and [screen_1] entries.
I'd be surprised if GNOME and other DE's didn't have a similar tool.
If running GNOME put your settings in:-
/etc/gdm/Init/Default (check that - I haven't run GNOME for years)
below the $IFS line - see man xrandr and your search engine for syntax.
A non-DE way of achieving the same thing is to create:-
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/45custom_xrandr-settings
and put your settings there
Cheers
