I tried it 

and put my 

xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --mode 1920x1200 --pos 0x0 --output DVI-I-2 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1920x0

line in that file and did chmod 755 to the file 

and it did not work.

I did the following for the xorg.conf and it works


Section "Device"
  Identifier     "Card0"
  Driver         "nouveau"
Option  "DVI-I-1" "DVI-I-1"
Option  "DVI-I-2" "DVI-I-2"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
  Identifier     "DVI-I-1"
#  Option         "Primary"    "True"
Option "PreferredMode" "1900x1200"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
  Identifier     "DVI-I-2"
  Option         "RightOf" "DVI-I-1" 
Option "PreferredMode" "1900x1080"
#  Option         "Primary"    "False"
EndSection


so I am happy.

Thank you. I dont know why the  directory file entry did not get used.
maybe because i had another  xorg.conf file it overrode that setting?

I have to tell it to use nouveau somewhere?
