Yes, xrandr is capable, but you need to spend time with xrandr(1). I
don't find that very enjoyable, though. I prefer the package arandr,
which is a small graphical front-end to xrandr, which will write the
proper screen config for you, almost automatically. Then you can just
copy it to your .xinitrc or whatever.
