I am using Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit as my default OS. I have updated the Nvidia Driver to 260.xx. Two monitors. One is a laptop lcd (secondary) and the other is a lcd connected via hdmi (primary).

The issue i am having is that when i right click the desktop and select "Clean up Icons" it moves all the icons on to the laptop lcd rather than the external one. Even while playing a flash video in full screen it plays on the laptop lcd.

Note: The login screen and the gnome-panels are on the external lcd.

I want the external lcd to be default. It is set to be default in nvidia x server settings, however that doesn't really make it default.


Thanks in advance!



Here is my xorg.conf:
