No clue, but isn't there a "monitor preference" application, possibly
called "display"? it is used when you have two or more displays to arrange
them relative to eachother, to set each one's resolution, and define which
one is the main display.

Not runninhg F32 here, but it may be available on a panel in the "add
to panel" section, or it should also appear on the menus somewhere
(unless you're running Gnome, where they believe in hiding everything
useful).
