Apparently[1] it is up to the desktop environment now to deactivate the LVDS
display if the laptop lid is closed at boot (or whenever?). I now have
several F13 laptops in docks with external monitors that boot with the lid
closed, but kdm_greet puts the login panel on the closed LVDS display (see
bug[2]). I've also filed a Fedora bug for similar stuff here [3]. I don't
know how gdm behaves.
Any other comments/help? I tried doing:
# Disable LVDS if another output is up
if xrandr --current | grep -qE '^(DVI|VGA).* connected'
then
lvds=$(xrandr --current | awk '$1 ~ /LVDS/ { print $1 }')
xrandr --output $lvds --off
fi
in /etc/kde/kdm/Xsetup, but kdm_greet appears to get stuck in an infinite loop
and I only see the small round black spinner cursor, never the login panel.
I thought about posting to the Fedora KDE list, but I'd like to get some wider
input.
