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.

Description Vladimir Benes 2012-07-11 11:50:23 UTC
Description of problem:
I have two screen setup .. second screen is off (as shared with the second box on my table) in gnome unless I need it.. so panel is moved to another display. 
The thing is that gdm dialog shows on the second .. mostly used by the second box and my primary screen has only background. Can this be switched somehow or at least follow mouse pointer? 

I know that switching cables would help possibly but don't we really want the gdm dialog on primary screen?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdm-3.4.1-3.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.set two screen setup and move gnomeshell panel to second screen
2.power off your secondary monitor or use it for another input
3.log out/in again 
  
Actual results:
no gdm on second screen but the cursor is in .. it looks like something is broken or so

Expected results:
should reflect gnome shell settings (it's called G as GNOME, right?)

The login screen cannot use your users settings - you are not logged in at that time.

ah.. of course.. very logical

what is default now? follow mouse cursor or mirror mode? 
mirror mode is logical as the second monitor can be attached to second machine (as in my case) 
follow mouse cursor is working as well but mirro mode is in my opinion better solution as plymouth does mirror as well.

thanks,
Vld
