What Window manager are you using?
You need to use a Xinerama aware WM, KDE and Gnome both do, and you can change the info In KDE (don't know about gnome)

The card itself decide that, xorg is not even aware a secondary exist, only twinview is giving that info to xorg.
You can check your xorg.log to see who is detect first by the card, card will assign a name to it, i think you might be able to play with it by name if both screen are the same.
names exemples (CRT, CRT-1, CRT-0, DFP-0, DFP-1...)
| Code: |
(II) NVIDIA(0): Connected display device(s): CRT-0, CRT-1
(--) NVIDIA(0): CRT-0: maximum pixel clock: 400 MHz
(--) NVIDIA(0): CRT-1: maximum pixel clock: 400 MHz
|
If screens aren't same type, CRT and an Flat panel you can simply inverse it in connected monitor (should works)
| Code: | Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP, CRT"
&
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT, DFP"
or (might works also)
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT-1, CRT-0"

I have this same problem. The kicker is that if you have one DLP and one CRT, the CRT is always made primary regardless of what you set in the ConnectedMonitor string.
See nvidia driver overriding what I set in ConnectedMonitor:
| Code: | (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0, CRT-1"
(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "TwinView" "on"
(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf"
(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30 - 96.0"
(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "50 - 75"
(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "MetaModes" "1024x768,1024x768;1024x768,NULL"
(**) NVIDIA(0): ConnectedMonitor string: "DFP-0, CRT-1"
(**) NVIDIA(0): TwinView enabled
(--) NVIDIA(0): Linear framebuffer at 0xD8000000
(--) NVIDIA(0): MMIO registers at 0xF4000000
(II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU detected as: GeForce 6600 GT
(--) NVIDIA(0): VideoBIOS: 05.43.02.23.04
(--) NVIDIA(0): Interlaced video modes are supported on this GPU
(II) NVIDIA(0): Detected PCI Express Link width: 16X
(--) NVIDIA(0): VideoRAM: 131072 kBytes
(II) NVIDIA(0): Using ConnectedMonitor string "CRT-1, DFP-0"

Nvidia says you cannot set the primary monitor with their current drivers, but a bug report has been opened to get this added as a feature in a future release. Read more here: (and chime in over there too so they know people want this feature added; which already works correctly in windows)
