I am running an Nvidia 5200 card. I have an LCD panel connect to the DVI port and a CRT plugged into the VGA port.
With this config, I would like my LCD panel to come up as the primary display and used with GDM, with this config, the CRT comes up as the primary. How would I change that?
Secondly, when X11 boots, the LCD starts out with a resolution 800x600 all the time -- I can manually switch it to 1280x1024 using nvidia-settings but it never sticks for some reason. What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance...
My xorg.conf looks like this...

Hi Cub69,

Cool. I got it working with:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout0"
Screen "Screen1"
Screen "Screen0" RightOf "Screen1"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
EndSection
Not sure why it fixed my resolution issue, but rather then using nvidia-settings I used the gnome screen resolution program to set my resolution and told it to make it the default -- odd.
Thanks!
