I have a 22" display and a 19" display, the 19" is the default display, at the moment, how would I go about making the 22" display and work as how it should (Like how window's manages it) with the icons on the right display etc etc.. :)

Hope you guys can help me out!

You should just be able to specify which one you like in display preferences. I had to drag them to the position I wanted them to be in, and click apply.

Problem is if I drag them into position how it's meant to work, it still does nothing, but instead of moving the cursor left, I would have to move it to the right to get the left display, which I would not want to do. Only thing I can think of is switching the dvi (22") with the vga (19") but other than that, I see no option what so ever on changing which is the default display, sadly. :L – TheCyberShocker Feb 14 '12 at 19:23
Not at my computer right now I will look when I get home. See if I can figure it out I had the same problem. – Matt Mootz Feb 14 '12 at 21:05

Did you select apply after dragging the displays? The Displays settings is one of the few places where you have to click apply after making changes. – James Feb 14 '12 at 23:06
