x1900 Monitor + HDTV bug

[Guest scaar]

Well i got my ati driver installed finally, found out when my monitor was going black (even though config said Philips 107t5) it was for some reason outputting X to my HDTV (which isnt a Philips 107t5 but a toshiba) which i dont understand why its going to my TV when HardDrake was picking up my monitor not my TV, i hit test and it pops up on my TV (hen its connected). Now i cannot keep unhooking my compnent jacks from the ati dongle everytime i want to run linux ( not that theres anything wrong with linux on an HDTV its just positioning over where my tv is vs. where my kb/mouse and stuff it). So there has to be a way to either setup clone display, or force it to ignore my TV when its plugged in.

Heres a copy and paste of my xorg.conf if someone can let me know what i need to delete/change in it to fix this bug. I have the resolution set for my monitor that i wish to keep, i only would like to change which display it goes to when X starts when both are plugged in.

Just put #'s at the beginning of any line that doesn't already start with one. Then try starting X again and see what happens. It's a bunch of added specifications that aren't necessary for your system to properly use your card, and a lot of it has to do with having an external TV (which makes think you had the HDTV hooked up during the driver setup/install, which leads me to my next idea....)

 

Another possibility, and maybe an easier one, would be to disconnect the HDTV, re-run the ATI setup, restart X to make sure it goes to the main monitor, then hook the HDTV back up. This, though, may not work out right.
