Greetings,

Here's my situation:

I have a dual monitor setup driven by an nVidia GTX 560, in a side by 
side configuration with a 30" 1080p on the left and a 24" 1080p on the 
right both connected with a DVI to HDMI cable.  The big montior is on a 
HDMI switch and is shared with other computers.  I swap the cable from a 
USB hub to switch because SL6 doesn't like my USB switches but that's a 
topic for another email.

Here's my problem:

For some reason the motherboard or SL6 likes the smaller monitor on the 
right as the default.  I don't understand how it figures that out as 
swapping the DVI cables doesn't change it.

The nVidia setup is fine and I can rearrange the monitors and all is 
good until I switch to using the left monitor for another computer.

SL6 is smart enough to realize one monitor went away and move everything 
to the monitor on the right.  However when I switch back it looses the 
monitor position and thinks the left is to the right and using the 
nVidia tool to put it back doesn't move the top and bottom panels back 
to the main monitor.

CTL-ALT backspace to kill X and startx restores everything the way it 
should be.  That isn't too bad if I don't have a gaggle of programs 
running and a ton of windows spread over 8 desktops, but that's my 
normal situation.

Because of the panel issue even if I figure out a way to rearrange the 
desk it won't work the way I'd like.

Any ideas how to switch monitors and get back to the same (albeit odd) 
configuration?

This is not a horrible problem, just an annoyance but it would be really 
cool to figure it out.

Thanks,
Joe
