if kms is an option, I'm using xrandr to accomplish essentially this
for a triple-head setup in this script I use from lightdm.conf as:

display-setup-script=/usr/bin/xrandr-screen-layout
greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/xrandr-screen-layout

where the script looks like (single line):
xrandr --output DisplayPort-0 --mode 1920x1200 --pos 1920x0 --rotate
normal --output DVI-1 --mode 1920x1200 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal
--output DVI-0 --mode 1920x1200 --pos 3840x0 --rotate normal --output
HDMI-0 --off

Not sure if that's helpful for you or not.
