Hello everybody. Using 10.10 and loving it. I especially like the nautilus elementary with the terminal built into the window!
I have a 64 bit system with a Sapphire HD5770 video card set up on two monitors(one is my tv) so I can drag windows from my main monitor to my tv. I mostly use monitor #1 for most things, but when I open up applications, they usually open on monitor #2 which is usually off so sometimes I wont even see it, or know that there is something over there on the tv. Kind of a pain. Is there anyway to set a default monitor for applications to open up on? - so I can choose monitor #1 for applications to open on?
Thanks for your help.
edit:
I configured compiz to make most windows open under wherever my cursor is hanging out, unfortunately, it does wander to my other monitor thus, I need a better fix. On top of that, pop-up windows almost always open up on the wrong monitor. Grrrrr.
Any help out there???
