	Change the Screen that the GDM Login displays on by Chris Beley :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Hi, I'm trying to figure out how I can select which screen my GDM login will show up on. What's curious is that my main screen (the screen that console shows up on and my main screen when I start KDE) is not the same screen that the GDM login manager shows up on. So far I've had no luck finding out anything. Any help would be appreciated. --Chris P.S. Knowing how to have the login screen mirrored on both screens would be nice too. _______________________________________________ gdm-list mailing list gdm-list@... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gdm-list
	Re: Change the Screen that the GDM Login displays on by Chris Beley :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message I have figured it out. in gdm.conf there is option called XineramaScreen which you can set to the screen you want the login to display on. It still seems really weird I wasn't able to find anyone else trying to change the screen or anywhere that documented that setting. --Chris Chris Beley wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to figure out how I can select which screen my GDM login > will show up on.

Did you read the GDM documentation for the version of GDM you are using? http://library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/2.20/configuration.html.en#configfile Also, the /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf configuration file contains comments which explain each configuration option. It says: # Xinerama screen we use to display the greeter on. Not for true # multihead, currently only works for Xinerama. #XineramaScreen=0 Brian > Chris Beley wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I'm trying to figure out how I can select which screen my GDM login >> will show up on.
