Hello, I have a two monitors (19" and 22") attached to my nvidia card. Ubuntu has set that the 19" monitor, which is the left one, is the default one - shows the login screen, all the menus.
I want to make my 2nd monitor the default one, can you help me do that, please. I have nvidia-settings, but I can't get what I want :confused:

ok, I solved this problem myself. Ran nvidia-settings, configured both monitors to TwinView, checked the main monitor to "Make it the primary display..". Also I had to set absolute positions for both monitors.
