Here's how I do it using Xorg.config

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "Triple"
        Screen      0  "Samsung0"
        Screen      1  "Samsung1" rightof "Samsung0"
        Screen      2  "Acer" leftof "Samsung0"
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
----------------------------------------------------------------------

There are three Device sections (one for one video card, and one for
each of the DVI outputs on a second video card).  There are then three
corresponding Screen sections (named Samsung0, Samsung1, and Acer).

Dunno anything about xrandr...
