I have 2 heads in use on my gtx 780ti, which are laid out to be A/B with A (left) as the default. Every time the system boots, at the X login screen, they are laid out B/A and A is the default (right). When I login, plasma correctly resets them to be A/B with A (left) as the default.
This is annoying and today due to other X issues, I had to get the nvidia tool to dump the X settings to a xorg.conf file. When I rebooted the system the monitors were correctly aligned as A/B with A as the default at the X login screen (the joys of static config).
So now I have solved that problem and removed the xorg.conf file, I am back to this annoying X windows auto configure boot mode that twiddles the monitor layout.
How can I pass a boot time parameter to X so that it lays the monitors as I want them, not as it sees them?
Yeah, I was just wondering if there was a switch. I like to avoid coding config files if I can help it and this was just to placate my anal ocd, so I’ll just buy a crossword puzzle book for the few seconds it takes to get to the login prompt and resist the urge to turn the other monitor on lol!
Would be nice if the bios allowed me to tell the vga card which head to use but it is what it is.
@OP, is there a BIOS setting for the display card port/slot, does the motherboard have an internal card? Also I’m assuming your using the DVI outputs on the cards?
