Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
System / Preferences / Monitors
I disabled 'Same image in all monitors and clicked 'Detect Monitors.'
After detecting both monitors, the one connected to '1' on the cable
(green in the application) was shown on the right-hand side, though
physically on the left. Likewise, the one connected to '2' (pink in the
application) was shown on the left, though it is on the right. I
dragged the one connected to green one to the left of the pink and
pressed 'Apply.' This brought a verification dialog up in the green
window, and I agreed to keep the new configuration. When I restarted
the machine, I expected the "main window" (the one with the menu bar and
whatever the thing at the bottom of the screen is called) would be on
the left. It was not; it was still at the right.
I don't know if it is pertinent, but there are numerous errors in the
${HOME}/.xsession-errors
file, which I have pasted below.
An additional point, which might help: If I press the 'Make Default'
button, the next time I boot, I cannot login. My user name is
highlighted, but pressing the enter key gives no response. The mouse is
clearly still working: I can wiggle it about on the desktop.
