Changing Primary Monitor

Hi all,
I really love how Q4OS can revitalize an old laptop.
I installed it today an ASUS EePC, which has a HDMI cable running to a Samsung Monitor. The laptop picks up the monitor, and extends the desktop to it. However, I wanted to use the Samsung Monitor as the primary (and only) display.
I right click on the desktop, and click "Congifure Desktop" (which opens 'KDesktop') - where I can change some basic things about the display. But there's no option to set it as my Primary Monitor. In fact, I can't even change the resolution of the Samsung Monitor.
Am I missing something?
Is there another package I need to install to change my displays more?
I am on Trinity.

Many thanks in advance

Re: Changing Primary Monitor

Does the drop down box not appear in kdesktop when you click on the screen size?

Re: Changing Primary Monitor

In Configure Desktop under the Display Tab, and then "Settings For Screen:" Screen 1 is greyed out (meaning it is the only screen whose resolution I can change). The option box for "Settings For Screen" is unclickable.
There's no option to change any settings for Screen 2, even though it's working as an extended desktop monitor.
