Tried that :) Then I'm back with my problem of having different
resolutions on each head. It seems that Screen 0 goes to the
DVI-connector and Screen 1 goes to the analog connector, and X thinks
that Screen 0 is the primary one.

I was hoping, that there is a way to tell X to use Screen 1 as the
primary screen.

So I need to switch the cables the other way, and forget the text
console (which shows only on the projector). I can do most of the stuff
with X anyway, so I think that is smaller bad :)
