Here is a patch which will add the MonitorLayout line to the initial xorg.conf if the X700 PCIE card is detected. I am not able to test the patch myself before next week sometime :( Maybe one should check for DISPLAY_TYPE=lcd/lvds instead of LAPTOP? The file to patch is /usr/bin/dexconf from the x11-common package, which already has some quirks and workarounds for other cards.
