Try to plug the CRT in the other port. Worked for me. I had the same problem with TV-Out.
Hi,
i have a 4870 ati, a crt monitor(primary) and a hdmi tv.
I installed the latest ati driver (9.11) from the ati site.
The problem is that when i connect the hdmi tv it becomes primary in ubuntu and i cannot set the dual desktop mode properly.
My intention is to have my usual destop on the crt while on the other screen starts xbmc.
But i can't do this unless i figure out how to define my crt ad n.1 instead of n.2
If i use xrand with
xrandr --output CRT1 --primary
xrandr --output DFP1 --auto --left-of CRT1
i temporarily (til reboot)have an extended desktop which is no good for my intention.
So basically the question is: how can i set my crt as primary in catalyst control center?
Thanks in advance

seems that I have the same problem. Have you solved yours?
hi, sorry for the delay.
i solved!
in the section
i changed the screen number toCode:Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "aticonfig Layout" Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0 Screen "amdcccle-Screen[1]-1" 1600 0 EndSection
and then removed any other screen definition under the device sections.Code:Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "aticonfig Layout" Screen 1 "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0 Screen 0 "amdcccle-Screen[1]-1" 1600 0 EndSection
let me know if it works for you
yes it works. Thank you. But it should be possible to configure this behaviour in ccc
