Is this possible?
Normally I use disper
to enable my external monitor, but I don't think I can force the 2nd monitor to be primary.

I've played around with nv-control-dpy
included in the nvidia-control source, but I haven't figured out how to do it yet. How to get:

EDIT
This is a laptop, to which I connect an external hdmi display when I get to work. dipser -e
extends the desktop for me, but the laptop remains the primary desktop (holding the panels etc). nvidia-settings
can set primary monitor for me, but I want to use the cli.
what's the hardware here? laptop with external monitor? two monitors connected to one GPU? two GPUs? – quack quixote – 2010-04-16T09:35:38.550
nvidia binary drivers...enough said. This would probably be really easy with xrandr, but the nvidia drivers only support their proprietary twinview. – Broam – 2010-04-16T13:35:39.977
