You will have set up that multi-screen configuration as *your* settings. The login manager has its own. In the past (on older versions of Gnome, that I have used), if I located my monitors.xml file (on this OS at /home/tim/.config/monitors.xml), I could copy it into the home space of GDM (the login manage for my old OS), which was: /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml I mention *my* *old* installations, because I don't know if the current ones do the same thing in the same way, but I'd guess something similar. Look for your monitors.xml file. Find the homespace for your login display manager. [tim@paralytic ~]$ locate monitors.xml /home/tim/.config/monitors.xml [root@paralytic ~]# grep gdm /etc/passwd gdm:x:42:42::/var/lib/gdm:/sbin/nologin [root@paralytic ~]#cp /home/tim/.config/monitors.xml /var/lib/gdm/.config/ And, for good measure, if this is the solution for you. You can also copy the xml file into /etc/skel/.config/ so that any newly created users will get the monitors.xml file put into their homespace as their account is set up. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.
