Issue with identification of the primary screen

gennadyd · 06-28-2011, 10:25 PM

I am experiencing a strange problem after switching to a newer and faster Mac. DisplayLink was working fine on the old computer but on the new one the display connected to DisplayLink wakes up consistently first and OSX assigns to this display to be a primary. Then DVI-connected monitor wakes up and it becomes a primary. Needless to say that it changes dramatically the window layout on both monitors. Not sure if it is a driver problem (maybe just being too fast) but does anyone know how to prevent this really annoying effect.

Thanks.
