Hi, that's because Weston does not have a concept of main or preferred display to begin with. If what you refer to involves running Weston with the fbdev-backend, then Weston has nothing to do with the issue. Weston only uses /dev/fb0, whatever that might be and however that might work, as set up by the kernel.
