I created it manually (ie: the hard way) back when I was using RedHat 7.3
or 8.0 (can't remember now), and whenever I upgrade to a new version, I
build it manually again, since I always do a fresh install rather than an
upgrade.

Yep. :)

I have both sections. Note that until I ran up2date the other day, my
Xinerama setup was working perfectly. (I've included my XF86Config file
at the end of this email, if you're curious...)

That's how it was originally, but updating my packages the other day
mysteriously swapped them over. Actually, I installed Fedora Core to
another hard driver the other day, just to have a look, and it was also
the opposite orientation to my original configuration. I guess something
in a more recent version of XF86 changed.
