gnome3: external monitor, builtin still primary after lid-close

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I test-drove a vanilla install of F30 Workstation, and observed the
following (correct) behavior:

	- without an external display, the laptop goes to sleep when
	  the lid is closed
	- with the external display connected, the built-in screen
	  becomes unavailable when the lid is closed, and the external
	  screen becomes primary (the toolbar at the top moves there,
	  and so do all the windows from the primary screen

I then did a custom kickstart install, with a bunchof stuff *including*
@gnome-desktop, which works fine overall, except:

	- when the lid is closed while an external display is
	  connected, the built-in screen *remains* active (and
	  primary, unless I explicitly make the external one primary).
	  Since it's still marked as active/available, sometimes
	  applications (e.g. firefox) end up sending popup boxes
	  there, where I can't see them (since it's closed).

I could not find which setting or package causes the difference in
behavior between correct and incorrect, but I'd like to keep my
custom kickstart installation if at all possible.

Any idea how I could explicitly configure my gnome desktop environment
to behave correctly w.r.t. extrenal monitor and lid-close effect on
the built-in screen?

Thanks much,
--Gabriel
