Adding active-monitor #29

Closed 112RG closed 2 years ago

112RG commented 2 years ago

Environment

Description of feature

Adding the active-monitor config option from webkit2-greeter.

I have for days been trying to get webkit-greeter to start on my main monitor to no avail. Using commands such as xrandr --output DP-4 --auto --primary --output DP-0 --auto --right-of DP-4 --output DP-2 --auto --left-of DP-4 in a display-setup-script only leads to all my monitors flickering on and off displaying nothring. I am using nvidia drivers too. And active-monitor is the only option that has worked for getting lightdm displayed on the correct screen

Possible solutions

Cant think of any

Did webkit2-greeter have a active-monitor option? I don't think so. lightdm-gtk-greeter is the one that has this feature, though~

About adding this feature, I don't have a multi-monitor setup, so it would be impossible for me to test it, sadly.

Oh you know its weird that active-monitor worked even when I wasn't using lightdm gtk. I might poke around the code and see how it works to see if its possible. Since xrandr seems to not be a option

You can check if #35 does work in your case. There is no active-monitor option, but it should detect your main/primary monitor to show web-greeter's window.
