RTFM of the geometry package to make sure you know what you're doing. Put the \geometry{twoside} __before__ you make changes because the \geometry{twoside} will probably overwrite (some of) your custom settings.
This is NOT a XeTeX question. Go to 

http://tex.stackexchange.com/
for these kinds of questions.

 Hi,

For a twoside document (7.5" by 9.5" book size printed on A4), I would
like the inner margins to be 2.5 cm (space for binding) and outer
margins to be 1.5 cm (as an example). The relevant code is at:

  https://github.com/shakthimaan/xetex-book-template/blob/master/styles/config.sty#L15

The generated PDF is at:

  http://shakthimaan.com/dump/book.pdf

When I take a two-sided print-out, and cut at the 7.5" horizontal
margin on the odd page, some of the text gets cut on the (outer
margin) even page.

When I open the PDF in Evince in "Dual" mode, I don't see the
asymmetry in the margins. What could I be missing?

Appreciate any help in this regard,

Thanks!

SK
