The problem is when the system boots up the system identifies the
screen on the closed lid as a valid and active monitor and puts the
login screen on that monitor while displays 2 and 3 are on but blank.
Once I log in (blindly) the system will properly recognized that the
lid monitor is not active only display on #2 & 3, and in fact if I
choose "Displays" it will show that monitor #1 is a "Built-in display"
and list it as off.
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.
That seems to have done it, thanks for the guidance.
