Sony Dvp Sr 200regio Free

external monitor set as primary monitor in Ubuntu

I had the problem I got the two-screen mode always shows the little laptop screen as primary screen with the gnome-panel and slide on the large external monitor always had all the windows.
Now I have found relief.

Step 1
go to "Configure display settings" in the two-screen mode. Resolutions and the wishes adapt

Step 2
with xrandr the screens identify

xrandr-q

Step 3
xrandr with external screen on (with my VGA-0) as the primary screen:

xrandr - primary

Finish - VGA-0 output.
Anyone who hopes to replace everything, including the configuration of the graphical tool, which performs the following yet, or transfer it into a script, which he then links to the desktop or in a panel.
So in total it looks like this:

xrandr - output VGA-0 - primary; xrandr - output VGA-0 - auto - pos 0x0 - output LVDS - auto - left-of VGA-0

your can
VGA-0 is the external screen when you are called out VGA-1: may have to adjust the following.
LVDS is the laptop. Can also mean LVDS-1.
test this with "xrandr-q".
"- left-of VGA-0" is set for me so, because my laptop is next to my external monitor. Fits this if it is in another way.

Who has helped here can, indeed a short comment, so I know that I have not written in vain. Thank you.
