rant How can a bug that was reported almost 3 years ago and affects many people reproducably still exist? Then again, GNOME developers probably consider it a feature. Yet another case of GNOME (and Ubuntu) breaking stuff that worked fine for a decade, and then making a point of not listening to the users who complain. I have so many examples of this by now, I stopped counting. byebye GNOME, byebye UBUNTU, it was nice while it lasted (the first few years anyway, lately it just sucks). /rant -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395314 Title: gdm 2.26 appears on wrong monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gdm/+bug/395314/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 395314] Re: gdm 2.26 appears on wrong monitor
This is an old bug, but just in case somebody is still experiencing it in a newer release, I can confirm than this problem is due to the mouse appearing in the exact center of both displays (nvidia gtx 550 ti in my case, two monitors 1024x768 with twin view) and gdm thinks than it's on the one of the right, since must be one pixel to the right or left since technicaly there's no real center betwen both screens. The solution from post Joerg in post #11 worked for me, thanks a lot! It forces gdm to set the mouse closer to the 0x0 coordinates, making it appear in the first monitor by default and so the gdm, login screen, language selector, etc...

I'm adding my comment here rather than to the Gnome bug tracker because I don't have an account there, and here I can reference Ubuntu versions According to lspci my graphics card is VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G71 [GeForce 7300 GS] (rev a1) On Jaunty the login prompt always appeared on the primary monitor (left). On Karmic (upgraded on-line today 25/Dec/09) the login prompt seems to be dependent on the mouse position as described above. I seem to recall that the mouse always was in the middle of the two screens, just to the right. Interestingly at the point at which you have to put your mouse on the main screen to get the login prompt to appear there, you can't actually see the mouse pointer on that screen; it seems to be hidden by the Ubuntu splash screen. -- gdm 2.26 appears on wrong monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395314 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Empirically is seems that gdm 2.26 is appearing on whichever monitor contains the mouse pointer, which in my case at bootup seems to be one pixel right of centre, putting it just onto my secondary monitor.
