1002:9498 [Asus M4A77TD PRO] The primary monitor is my projector instead of my computer's screen

[PEIGNOT Kévin]

I just installed a projector at home on the HDMI port of my graphic card, the computer's screen staying on the DVI port. I discovered when I booted that, even if the projector is shut down (and energy turned off too) it's the primary screen for the computer. Result : Even if the projector isn't started, or even powered, every window appear on it, including the login screen

I can't test Trusty due to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1268215 .

PEIGNOT Kévin, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-ati REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi,

this is still a bug but sadly I can't test actually on Trusty because of this bug : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1268215

I'm waiting informations on this one to re-upgrade to trusty, then I will re-test for my screen priority bug.

Thank you for your understanding,

I changedmy graphic card for a Nvidia one and the problem disapeared (it's not the reason why I changed but it solved my problem too). So I think we can close this bug but I don't know how because even if I don't have it anymore it still exists.
