Nice question. I've got a similar situation with a radeon with dual vga. I'm using a 17"crt as primary screen and a small 14" crt as secondary. Gentoo sets the 14" screen as the primary one. How to change this? It happens in framebuffer and X.

Its real easy to do, you just need to mess around with getting xinerama or twinview working in your xorg.conf.
