           Summary: Multiple Monitors: Primary screen is always placed on
                    secondary monitor
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE 11.2
           Version: Final

I've installed openSuSE 11.2 on my Dell Studio 1555 NB with Mobility Radeon HD
4570. I'm running ATI's fglrx-driver. Extending my desktop via KDE-ControlPanel
and amdcccle works fine. The only problem is, that the primary screen is always
placed on the secondary monitor, which means in my case that my hole desktop is
shown on the external monitor and my internal lvds-screen is just a empty
desktop.

There is no way to select the primary monitor. I've tested several things, like
setting the external monitor explicitly as "Right Of" to the internal one, but
nothing helped. xrandr's --primary attribute is also ignored.

Reproducible: Always
