Hello all.

I have that strange problem : if I launch X running on my two screens (DFP and TV), no problem ! But if if I launch it just for my DFP (commenting TV related lines in xorg.conf), the console is only displayed on TV when I switch from X.
I think that the kernel consider my TV as main screen, not the DFP.
This could be changed in X to get the Display Manager appear on my DFP with
Code:
Screen 0 "DFP" 0 0
Screen 1 "TV" LeftOf "DFP"

but is it possible to change this for the kernel ?
My graphic card : GeForce FX 5900.
Note : All boot messages are displayed on both screens till login prompt or grphic login !!

Another problem that I think I will solve if I solve the first above is that my framebuffer can only display 800x600 resolution if the TV is connected and can reach 1280x1024 if not (I verified it in /proc/fb0/modes). That is in fact this problem which lead me to think that the kernel consider my TV as main screen !!!
Am I on the right way ? Any ideas ?

Sorry for my english speaking if it can be strange...
