Bug ID: 515138
Summary: Support for screen layouts
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasma-login-manager
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
Plasma login manager should provide support for rotated screen(s). and screen
layout. Right now, it defaults to landscape and cannot be changed, which can
be more than a little bit problematic. Ideally, there would be some way to
save the existing screen layout to the login manager so that the correct layout
is used, possibly as part of the apply plasma settings function? Simply
rotating and mirroring would work if a single screen is in use, but with more
than one monitor using different rotations, some screens would be flipped or
arranged incorrectly. Simply using the correct layout but mirroring would be
entirely sufficient (and would avoid centering the UI across screens.)
You could do this in SDDM by using an Xorg monitor.conf file and specifying the
screen layout.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have one or more rotated screens (I have one rotated left, the other
rotated right)
2. Try to login
OBSERVED RESULT
Notice that the login manager is in landscape mode, making login extremely
difficult.
