   I just installed 'arandr' from the link I gave you, none of the stuff I   
   snipped was needed, now it's easy to setup my monitors in a GUI   
   application. You may want to give it a try. Then you can think me. :)   
      
   I should add install instructions are on that link, also you will need   
   to blacklist arandr in /etc/slackpkg/blacklist or it will be removed   
   when you run slackpkg clean-system.
