Still, all other drivers, including Windows, agree on "first" vs. "second" 
output connector, regardless of RandR 1.2 or not -- point is, if I switch 
drivers or OS, my primary display suddenly isn't primary anymore, kdm appears 
on the wrong screen, as does the taskbar or yakuake.

Really, should I switch my monitor cables every time I switch from/to radeon 
driver, like after running Windows or maybe using fglrx for a gaming session? 
IMHO this is far worse breakage than a one-time setup change for a driver that 
claims it is still under development. My patch even avoids renaming devices, 
so no setups can break except those that rely on the allegedly arbitrary 
order.
