I have a dual head Nvidia 5200 with DVI driving my 17" monitor and<br>analog (15-pin) driving my 1080p LCD TV (actually a 37" monitor with<br>external tuner). With the dual head, single card, I can only have one
<br>display with two screens and only one of the screens gets the video<br>overlay, screen 0. I would like that to be the TV so I can adjust<br>picture settings (brightness, contrast, etc) and take some of the load<br>off of the CPU during video playback. I am running KDE with two
<br>separate desktops, same user. I thought I could do multiseat, but found<br>that only works with dual DISPLAYs, not just dual SCREENs. In other<br>words, multiseat (different user on each display) requires dual video
<br>cards, which I can not accommodate (box is full!).<br><br>Sending screen 0 (DISPLAY :0.0) to the TV poses some problems when my<br>wife is watching the TV and I am working on the computer using the<br>monitor on screen 1 (DISPLAY :
0.1). If I try to reboot, the logout<br>prompt is displayed on the TV, which I don't see because the TV input is<br>set to Tuner instead of PC. If I put in a CDROM, the "What do you want<br>to do" prompt, again, is sent to screen 0. I have to wait for a
<br>commercial (remember commercials?) to switch the TV input to PC so I can<br>see the prompt and respond. There are LOTs of cases where things are<br>sent to screen 0 by default.<br><br>What I would like to do is change my default display to be on screen 1.
<br>I would like the login prompt to be displayed on display :0.1 and my<br>second desktop to be on :0.0. Anyone heard of this? Is it possible?<br>Is there a better list to post this question to (I tried KDE forum but<br>
no luck)?<br></blockquote></div><br>Have you tried going through xorg.conf and just changing all of the relevant 0s to 1s and vice versa?<br>
<br>
Actually, the first thing i would try would be to change these lines in the Server Layout section:<br>
