Grub/boot using wrong monitor (dual-head setup)?

I have a dual monitor set up, using two dvi slots on my radeon HD card.

When I start up my system, regardless of the order of the cables, it first shows my bios slash screen on both monitors, then it goes to Grub2 and I see "Loading Grub.." on both monitors.  After that, it always defaults to displaying on my "secondary" monitor, which I do not use very often.  Meanwhile my primary monitor goes black until my system reaches the SLIM login.

Is there any way to define which monitor is to be used in Grub2 and during booting?

I'm thinking it the default display may be configured in the /etc/grub.d/00_header file but I have no idea how to edit that.

As I said, I tried switching the cables and also checked the bios and didn't see any settings regarding this.
