How to Swap Display Identity (Identities)

Anonymous

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.

I feel like maybe this problem has been left to languish for so many years is in no small part to the history of this thread. The original query actually has very little to do with the problem that has persisted and kept this thread alive for so long. Casual glances at the top of this thread could easily dissuade any Microsoft developers who happen to come across this to dismiss the whole thing out of hand.

Pete: I'm having the same issue with an Intel, video on the mother board. Prey tell: how do you get to any EDID information, much less lock them to a file

Please elaborate if you would be so kind or if you have a link to instructions that would be great as well. This would be handy to do, but I have no idea how to do this. Thanks.
