It works perfectly with my setup. I'm using an external monitor side by side with my laptop. I only have one question: what is the best way to make it persistent every time I login? Thanks very much!

I think you only have to set VIRTUAL to the largest single-screen dimension that is NOT the direction you are stacking the screens. For instance, using your screens above, 1280×800 + 1440×900 would equal EITHER 2720x900 if stacked side-by-side, or 1440x1700 if stacked vertically, as you did above. Unless I totally misunderstand the VIRTUAL parameter... I’m not sure you need to have your virtual size set quite that large.
