Troubles with dual monitors

On my newest hackintosh build I am having troubles with dual monitors. I have it hooked up to a 17" CRT on the desk, and a 19" LCD on the wall. If both are plugged in and I boot up the bios appears on the CRT, which makes me believe that the CRT is the main display. But then once I am in OS X it switches and the main display is on the LCD. I have a bios password that has to be entered on boot and the LCD usually has cable playing so I can't just switch the cables because then on reboots I would have to switch signals and then put the password in. I have tried unplugging the LCD booting up and then everything appears on the CRT, but then as soon as I plug in the LCD and hit Detect Displays it goes back to the LCD being the main. Is there anyway to switch this? I want the CRT to be the main display.
 
Could be a VGA issue. If your LCD has VGA input, slap a VGA adapter on your card and swap ports.
 
Ah nevermind figured it out. In system preferences in displays under arrangement there is a little white bar at the top of one of the displays. Just drag that to whichever screen you want to be the main one.
