Programs open up on wrong screen
I have a TV screen and a regular computer monitor - for some reason programs keep opening up on the TV screen rather than the monitor, even though I have the monitor selected as the "Primary Display" on the 'Nvidia X Server Settings" program.
I believe it's a KDE thing, but I don't know what setting to change. I'm on Slackware 13, KDE 4.2.4. TIA! |
Maybe you just need to reverse the connections on the video card?
|
Is there no way to do this in software?
|
It happened to me a few times, I too just swap the connectors on the back of the computer.
|
I've switched my two connectors and I still have the same problem - stuff often opens up on the wrong screen. It's actually happening more often now that I've switched them. It's very annoying when I try to launch a full screen game and it goes on my TV and blacks out my monitor.
I"m using KDE - I can't find anything in the settings that controls which screen new programs open up on. |

It kind of sounds like a driver problem, I think you're on the right track. But we need to make things a bit more clear first. What kind of settings do you have in the bios for video? Did you install a new video card after an OS install? Did the card(s) give any type of trouble before you hooked up the tv? |

I can't help with KDE, I use Gnome. But I think it has more to do with the nvidia drivers. Where did you get them? Did you download them from the Nvidia site?
