Description Yannick Defais 2021-11-11 09:38:37 UTC
Description of problem:
I have 2 monitors, one horizontally positioned (the main) and one vertically positioned (the second). I have setup them correctly with the Gnome setting GUI. but in GDM, nothing changed: it is the second one (vertically positioned) with is used and it rotated as you have to turn your head to read it (if I have positioned it vertically, this would have been correct).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdm-41.0-2.fc35

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use at least 2 monitors,
2. configure them in gnome settings
3. reboot: gdm do not use your configuration

Actual results:
Wrong monitor layout

Expected results:
gdm should reuse the user configuration provided with Gnome.

Additional info:
A way to fix this using the command line:
After configuring your screens with Gnome,
$ sudo cp ~/.config/monitors.xml /var/lib/gdm/.config
$ sudo chown gdm:gdm /var/lib/gdm/.config
Reboot
