Hi,

I've recently switched to using one of my screens in vertical
orientation. This is fine from the desktop (after login), but currently
the greeter displays on the vertical screen but on it's side.

Is it possible to move the greeter to the other screen, which is
horizontal or rotate the greeter so it displays correctly?

Cheers

Daniel

I use lightdm with option display-setup-script:

display-setup-script=/etc/fixscreen.sh

cat /etc/fixscreen.sh:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/xrandr --output DP-1 --rotate left

execute xrandr in your x session to get the output names.

Thankyou Alex, I had found a similar post on askubuntu (after I sent the
mail).

Along with [1], I have added the command to the bottom of
/etc/gdm3/Init/Default

which seems to have resolved the issue!

I found an old thread about this:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1602481

It might still be possible to do something similar, but the
configuration files have changed a bit.
