Just did some testing, I can get Big Picture to run on DP-1 (the correct monitor) only if I change HDMI-0 to a different a resolution that is not the same as DP-1. For example if I change HDMI-0 to 1680x1050 then Big Picture will use DP-1
Having the same issue as the above. Big Picture Mode does not launch on my primary monitor, but my second (middle) monitor, but games open on the primary monitor minimizing BPM on the second monitor.

I am having this exact issue. I thought it was due to fullscreen not using "virtual monitors", so I tried changing the physical cables around to switch the order. The result is the same, it opens it in my right monitor regardless of where Steam is.
Has there been any progress on this? I managed to notice that the problem is with focus. BPM opens up on the screen that has the current focus https://youtu.be/D8mBPFUfK_U
I'm on Arch with KDE.
@kisak-valve I believe this can be closed. It relates to the old BPM and I haven't noticed it happening with the new one.
Closing per the last comment.
Nothing extracted yet.
Hello, I am running a dual screen setup on Mint 17.
Graphics card: Nvidia GTX 770
Windows Manager: Cinnamon
My primary monitor is DP-1 (Center)
My secondary Monitor is HDMI-1 (Right of)
I have Verified my primary monitor (DP-1) is set correctly in the Nvidia Settings Tool as well as it is also the Primary Display in the Display settings for my Windows Manage AND also with xrandr.
SDL games launch using the correct Display when full screened, but Big Picture still has been using HDMI-1
Thanks!
