Dual monitor/default monitor

[Tyndarus]

Hello,

sorry for bringing this old topic back to life...
I've got the same problem as ep3w: login screen keeps on appearing on my second monitor.
(i'm running ubuntu 10.04)

i've been retyping some stuff in xorg.conf, but nothing seems to work.
When i start up my PC, first screens appear on primary monitor (DFP-0), then it switches to other monitor for login (DFP-1), after logging in, my panels (bar with applications/places/system) are on my primary monitor again (as they should be because of Option "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "DFP-0, DFP-1").

Is this because of wrong dual screen settings (see below) or has the login screen it's own setting for choosing monitor?

my xorg.conf file (srry for full text, dunno how to put it as 'code')

... and another question,
do my inputdevices have to be mentioned in xorg.conf?

on all other forums/topics nobody seems to mention anything about input devices in xorg.conf

I think this line:

Option         "TwinViewOrientation" "DFP-1 LeftOf DFP-0"

Should be:

Option         "TwinViewOrientation" "DFP-0 LeftOf DFP-1"

It has been a while since I tinkered with nvidia in ubuntu, so apologies if I got it wrong.

Also, I think the input devices no longer need to be in xorg.conf in later Ubuntu versions, but it might be still relevant for 10.04. It's also retained by nvidia-settings because nvidia is slow catching up. But don't quote me on that, as I said, it has been a while.
