Xrandr saving configuration

English Hardware
#1

I apologize if this is in the wrong forum or has been done to death. Okay I am new to linux and chose open suse for my foray into linux, i am am running a dual monitor setup and as everyone knows once you log out or reboot you lose your configuration. I have searched every possible known venue to find out how i save my xrandr configuration which all the tutorials i could find really were not meant for beginners so I was wondering maybe you guys/gals could help me out and tell me exactly what I need to do, I am currently using 12.3 with KDE4 I have attached my xrandr CLI display and it would be really helpful if I could instructions on exactly what to do as I am totally clueless right. Any help would be appreciated.

That is my current configuration that I wish to save and use every time I boot up, but I have no idea what to or where to put the configurations so they will be used every time.
