Tried this, Fink. No difference.
My old monitor didn't "die" per se. It's just on it's last legs. When I turn the PC on, it flickers for about five minutes before actually turning on. It's just a matter of time until it does die; hence, the reason I bought the new one. For ****s-n-giggles I disconnected the new monitor and connected the old one. Lo and behold, the system recognized the old monitor as primary!
Something about the new monitor is causing this. Let me track down a forum for Samsung monitors and see if anyone else is having this problem.
Thanks for your time and effort, Fink!
