1: A shell script needs a shebang:
#!/bin/sh
xrandr --output VGA --auto --output TMDS-1 --auto --right-of VGA
2: X won't even be running when rc.local runs, so you can't do anything
with X tools there.
3: You can do this in the xorg.conf file. You'll need to modify the
"Device" section, and add one line for each of your monitors. The
format of the line is Option "Monitor-<port name>" "<id>". The
port name is the one that the xrandr tool prints out, and the id is
whatever you want. You'll use that id in the "Monitor" sections to
specify the xrandr options. For example, my system has these three
sections in xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "radeon"
Option "Monitor-VGA-0" "first"
Option "Monitor-DVI-0" "second"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "first"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "second"
Option "RightOf" "first"
EndSection
