How do I select which monitor kdm will display login on?
by Robin Laing
Hello,
I have a dual monitor, well, one monitor and one projector that I have
configured for presentations. System is using F20.
Presently when I start the computer, kdm's login prompt is on the
projector instead of the monitor. There are no settings in the system
settings configuration to select the monitor.
The monitor order is selected for ease of use while doing the
presentations. When dragging applications to the presentation, you drag
towards the projector screen.
Even with the projector powered off, the kdm screen is on the projector.
I have played with the /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc with no success.
If I don't get this changed, some will force a move to MS Windows.
Thank you.

writing back... I ran RPMFUSION and rebooted no errors... The boot
screen is weird now its a blue bar that turns white as it goes across
the screen to the FEDORA 20 writing on the left in dark blue. then the
screen went black with a _ for about 10 sec. flickered. then log in
screen came up. So I guess this is solved! Thank you !
