Replying to myself: The MonitorLayout option fixed this. Seems 6.8.0 is much less tolerant of the configuration than 6.7.0 (6.8.0 lists this setting as "undefined")
Thats one problem solved, next is that when I close the lid (which in both xorg versions blanks the lcd as normal), but in 6.8.0 blanks the CRT as well whereas with 6.7.0 the CRT stayed live. Any hints on this one?
