I've got a triple screen setup, and in windows Diaspora will load on the center monitor, due to nvidea surround vision forcing it to do so.
Now, in linux (mint), I managed to get all 3 x servers to work in a contiguous fashion (I can stretch video across all 3 for example) but the far left is the primary X server. I dont believe I'm going to be able to have the screens in the correct order and have the primary x server be the central monitor (as it's forced to in windows due to SV), so I was happy to get them to play nice at all. That being said, playing diaspora on the left monitor is annoying and I was wondering if there's anyway to tell Diaspora to load on the 2nd X server, instead of the primary.

You could give this (http://www.thetechrepo.com/main-articles/502-how-to-change-the-primary-monitor-in-ubuntu-or-other-linux-distributions) a go?

unless he is using nouveau/gallium3d drivers, forget about xrandr. as far as i remember from the hilarity of nvidia multimonitor on linux... i solved the whole shenanigan by simply making a new multimode with only the desired screen enabled in the nvidia-settings thing, then tossed that into the xorg.conf
also, note, i was using twinview, which may or may not work with triple monitor setup. i do not know and cannot test it unfortunately :p

yeah - to be honest I don't have a lot of Linux multi-monitor experience, I run two at work, but I really don't care about primary displays / games there :)
