RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
when booting machine initially, gdm will display incorrectly on a secondary monitor. Internal display/primary monitor will usually look fine, but on the secondary monitor there will be large graphical glitches. If the second monitor is higher resolution, half of the screen will often be blank with the login entry near the bottom; if the second monitor is lower resolution, there usually isn't blanking but the login prompt will be offset greatly and usually drawn offscreen.
Plymouth displays fine beforehand. gnome-shell also displays fine.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-8.0.0-20190228.1

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect at least two displays with different max resolutions to the machine (internal displays affect this too)
2. Boot the machine and wait for gdm to appear
Actual results:
1. gdm has significant graphical glitches on one monitor in dual-head mode (described at the top of report)
Expected results:
1. gdm displays correctly on all connected displays
Additional info:
tested on T480s (Intel UHD Graphics 620) and a desktop machine with AMD Fiji (Radeon R9 FURY/NANO series)

fixing component
does disabling wayland in /etc/gdm/custom.conf help?
Some questions:
Is this still an issue with 8.1? The display server used by gdm was upgraded betwene 8.0 and 8.1 with many bug fixes coming with it.
Without having disabled wayland in gdm.conf, after you log in to the session, are you selecting the default session, or X11 one?
If you log out, is gdm still showing up incorrectly?
