FYI: I'm running KDE, and I've managed to fix this via an autostart file. It waits for me to be logged in then it swaps the screens, kinda goofy but it works. I placed a file called xrandr in the .kde/Autostart directory under my home directory. Then I added the content below and made the file executable: ----------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/bash xrandr --output LVDS1 --primary ------------------------------------------------------ I'd like a more elegant/permanent solution so I dont have to "swap" the screens after login , however it does work for now... > On 05/20/11 10:46, CS DBA wrote: >> Hi All; >> >> I just installed Fedora 14 and generally everything works great.
