Dual Monitors with panel on the wrong monitor

[Whiskyjoe]

Hi guys new to Linux,

Trying to give mint a red hot go, so far i have managed to download and install the latest 13.1 AMD drivers and the catalyst for my 7970. The problem i have is that i am running dual monitors, now i can set up multi monitors no issue but the blasted panel is on the right monitor, not the left one which i want as my main monitor (that's the one directly in front of my eyeballs).

I did a heap of searching and tried a few tricks i found, however nothing is working, not even changing the display and making the Asus monitor the primary monitor. I tried a heap of combinations in Catalyst as well and i can't get anything to replicate what i am used to in Windows.

That being that my Asus (left monitor) is my main and my Acer (right monitor) is the other half of my desktop,

So my mouse should move left to right and i should be able to drag open windows onto the Acer monitor and have the panel on the ASUS monitor.

i am running Mint 14 with cinnamon.

I can get any system info you need as long as you tell me the command to put into terminal.

In order to make my life bearable i have disabled the ACER monitor for now, because it was doing my head in something fierce

Any way, thanks all for your help in advance

You have to set the monitor you want as your main monitor to be a primary output. If everything still opens in the "wrong" monitor, open System settings -> Window behavior -> Window behavior -> Focus -> check the box next to "Active screen follows mouse"

Tried that pen System settings -> Window behavior -> Window behavior -> Focus -> check the box next to "Active screen follows mouse"

However i dont seem to have a Window Behaviour to choose from.

This is now solved

When you open your Monitor

so Menu/preference/display

you will see

a black bar at the top of the primary monitor box (it looks like it has a date in it); drag that black bar onto the monitor that you want to be the primary monitor then hit Apply.

This is provided your monitors are correctly set to their resolutions.
