Windows 7 - Display 'A' Philips primary display - Display 'B' IBM secondary display.  A shows as Identity 2 and B shows as Identity 1.  I want to reverse these.  Reason is that the cursor currently travels from display B to A and I need it to go the other way - due to physical location of displays

In the Screen Resolution window, under Change the appearance of your displays , click and drag one of the monitors to its correct location vs. the other one.   The Identity numbers don't matter.

    THE number of each display really MATTER for some apps. Its quite confusing to try to change this setup if its correctly set in drivers (ATI for me), even in color management. . . Only place, where you are (most possibly) NOT allowed to change this setting is in "Change the appearance of your displays"

    :-(

    Anybody know where is hidden "oldschool-display-dialog" ? ?
