DELL NVidia Quadro K600 with dual monitor, how to set primary to DP?
The P/N of this display card is 490-BBFB
The card has 2 connection, DVI and DP. When both connected, BIOS(or firmware) set DVI to primary. it effect bios setting display on DVI, it effect my RedHat choice DVI for primary.
I know I can make some change on X-Server, but that is not root cause. And I get lots problem when making those setting changes.
So, any idea to change display card make DP for 1st choice, from BIOS/firmware setting/firmware setting (anything) to complete solve my problem?
Thanks.

Streit,
You should disconnect the monitor from the DVI. Restart with only one monitor connected to the DP. The operating system should then make DP primary. Then, attach the second monitor to DVI. Use the operating system to make the DVI secondary.
To clarify, the operating system is on and running when you attach the second monitor to DVI and then configures it to be secondary.
