Hey guys, I have a Radeon 9800 Pro and Two CRT monitors that I'm trying to extend to. The one on the left is much smaller than the one on the right. I'm trying to Extend the desktop and I succeed however, it extends to the right, and I want it to extend to the left. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this?

Thanks a bunch,
Mark
 
What OS are you using? I can tell you in WinXP in the display properties and the settings tab, you can click and drag those monitor icons around to position them how you like. So just click on one monitor icon and drag it to the other side of the other monitor.

I've run into some issues also as to when the overlays work with the two monitors, and it seems best that you want your primary monitor hooked up to the radeon's dvi port, using the dvi-vga adapter if needed. On my radeon, the dvi port goes to monitor #2, and there's a checkbox in the settings to make this monitor my primary monitor. So I effectively have my primary monitor on the right just like your setup.
