If you are indicating that you have a dual head setup, you can edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and set the monitor to LeftOf or RightOf (depending on how you want it).

** Don't forget to make a copy of xorg.conf before you edit it.

If you have an NVIDIA card, I prefer to use the official NVIDIA settings tool to configure the screens. From this you can easily alter the 'main' screen, just as I have done with my dual-monitor setup.
