Two displays configuration problem

[Viper_Scull]

Ubuntu 10.04, xord-edgers ppa, kernel 2.6.34.

GPU = ATI HD4200

Displays: Asus PW201 (DVI-D), Sony 17" (VGA)

Sony's is well identified, whereas Asus's is identified as Ancor Communications Inc 20" (Resolution, built-in webcam, USB host.. run perfectly though).

The main panel is automatically set on sony's display. I have no way to move it to bigger Asus's. It doesn't matter if in monitor preferences i put Sony image to the right or to the left of "Ancor" image.

With catalyst i could select which one had the main panel on.

xrandr --output DVI-0 --primary

xrandr --output DVI-0 --primary

it worked! thanks very much.

is there any way to make it the default option? or will i have to do it through rc.local?

Actually I suspect you have to run that after X is already started. (that's how it used to be in the old days)
As in, rc files are too early for that.

You can put it in your gnome or kde session or in your ~/.xinitrc. I think there's an option for your xorg.conf as well if you are using a static config.
