** Description changed: Binary package hint: nvidia-settings When I connect my Dell XPS M1530 to an external monitor using the VGA port and run nvidia-settings to set it up to be to the right of the laptop screen, it does not matter which screen I set to be the primary screen - nvidia-settings forces the external monitor to be the primary screen (ie gnome-panel appears on this screen). (The relative positioning of the screens is correct, however.) The workaround is to cancel the change and then reapply it - the second time it sets the laptop screen to primary. This happens with the nvidia driver version 185.18.31 and .36 and also the latest beta driver 190.25 in Jaunty (with kernels 2.6.28, 2.6.30, and 2.6.31). It does work correctly if I connect to a monitor using the HDMI port.
