Second monitor insists on being primary one

Dec 15, 2006, 11:04 PM

I've got my xorg.conf setup so that my Nvidia system will run in Twinview mode. However, my secondary monitor(smaller, cheaper one off to the side, plugged into the second port on my video card) is always considered the first one when I run Kubuntu. I have tried everything I can think of, so now I turn to you all for help. Here's my current xorg.conf:

Code:

# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder26) Mon May 15 14:17:32 PDT 2006

# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.

#  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
