This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. Still present on f22 I can confirm this is a bug with the wayland backend. Adding WaylandEnable=false to [daemon] in /etc/gdm/custom.conf no long produces this issue. Should this be changed to a wayland bug? Furthermore, can someone check this against f23? Upstream bug, bumping to rawhide: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748098 I do have the problem with f23 (default settings). It seems inconsistent: sometimes, after reloading Gnome-shell, it applies monitors.xml, and sometimes not. Most of times, opening gnome-settings immediately refreshes screens and put it right back. Also note that I restarted from scratch with an empty monitors.xml. Gnome-settings is recreating it properly. (In reply to Jeremy Newton from comment #4) > I can confirm this is a bug with the wayland backend. > > Adding WaylandEnable=false to [daemon] in /etc/gdm/custom.conf no long > produces this issue. Wayland doesn't support rotation yet. It is coming soon: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/desktop@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/2MAIRIHMJ5LZ2LKPDWNUV4GC6ZRDICYI/ https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/WaylandByDefault So as a follow-on to bug #1292596 and bug #1288226, I'm now having the problem state in this bug--rotation works if I use xrandr manually, but gnome-shell won't restore the settings from monitors.xml in either ~/.config/monitors.xml or /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml. Although I'm still using F23, not Rawhide. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 24 development cycle. Changing version to '24'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora24#Rawhide_Rebase This is still relevant for F25, but should probably be CLOSED UPSTREAM as it's a gdm issue and not Fedora specific. Comment 4 works around this bug, as Wayland is not able to rotate screen on many/most systems. That seems to be the problem, therefore imho not a GDM bug. (In reply to Erik Streb del Toro from comment #12) > Comment 4 works around this bug, as Wayland is not able to rotate screen on > many/most systems. That seems to be the problem, therefore imho not a GDM > bug. Wayland is able to work screens in most situations now. On my system my GNOME (on Wayland) session has my primary screen in portrait, not GDM but that's only because GDM doesn't take the configuration into consideration. As I said in comment 11, this is a GDM issue and should be CLOSED UPSTREAM. This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.

Created attachment 982518 [details] contents of /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml Description of problem: - Using VGA1 and HDMI2 in clone configuration - Copied ${HOME}/.config/monitors.xml to /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml as stated in several links to let gdm use same monitor config than normal users - After update xorg-x11-drv-intel to latest version 2.21.15-9.fc20, monitors.xml seems to be ignored, and uses default startup configuration - need to downgrade to xorg-x11-drv-intel 2.21.15-4.fc20 to get it running again Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-intel > 2.21.15-4.fc20 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1- sudo yum update xorg-x11-drv-intel to any version greater than 2.21.15-4.fc20 2- restart gdm. 3- X and GDM restarts to X default configuration, ignoring /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml Actual results: Login prompt appears in first monitor (actually HDMI2) Expected results: Login prompt appears in both monitors (as expected in "clone" configuration) Additional info: Xorg.o.log shows default configuration: ....
