Hi,
about two months ago I bought a Radeon HD 6570 with
2GB memory for my main computer and I have a single
monitor connected to it, until now via VGA D-Sub.
Last week our secondary TV died (it was 15 years old, R.I.P.)
so I bought a nice 32" LED TV which has 3 external HDMI
connectors.
The HD 6570 has one DVI-D, one HDMI and one VGA connectors
so I thought it would be fun to allow the family to watch videos
while I can also work on the computer.
Here comes my problem: no matter which connectors I use
for the monitor (DVI-D or D-Sub), if the TV is switched on,
HDMI comes up as primary display. The result: GNOME 3
workspaces are switchable on the TV but a single workspace
is visible on my monitor. This would be the perfect setup
if I can reverse the roles of the TV and the monitor.
"man radeon" had an option which I tried but didn't help:
Option "ZaphodHeads" "DVI-0,HDMI-0"
Is there any other option that does what I want?
Thanks in advance,
Zoltán Böszörményi

xrandr --output DVI-0 --primary
or open the gnome display applet and drag the bar from one monitor to another.

Thanks.
Is this setting permanent after reboot and applies to GDM, too?

It's stored in the session, so if there's not a "Make system default"
button in the UI, then no it won't affect gdm.

Thanks. As I am logged in as my user, there's no such button.
How can I set it as the system default? It was a long time ago
when GNOME allowed a root login.

Ideally, gnome would implement that button.
Failing that you can set Option "Primary" for the appropriate monitor
section in xorg.conf.

I have found a way to match GDM's behaviour to what I have
set in my session. This is embarrassingly simple. After setting
up the monitors in the GNOME display applet:
sudo cp ~/.config/monitors.xml /var/lib/gdm/.config/
Next time GDM restarted, it behaved the way I set up.
Best regards,
