G'day,
Hopefully, this will save others some time.
I recently installed Lucid Lynx on my Dell Inspiron 9400. One niggling annoyance was that the Dell's LCD screen was the primary display, whereas I wanted my external monitor (BenQ T2200D via DVI) to be the primary display.
Ultimately, the solution was simple:
1. run the NVidia X Server Settings tool (gksudo nvidia-settings)
2. in the X Server Display Configuration I made sure the Dell's display (Seiko) was disabled
3. when saving to the X Configuration file, i.e. /etc/X11/xorg.conf, I chose not to merge with existing file
4. restart X
HTH,
Chris.
