Can I second (third?) this? Not being able to explicitly define the primary display is a serious limitation to me as an average end-user.
With a laptop the on-board display is (generally speaking) primary, regardless of what external display device is attached as that external device could be removed at any time. Setting the primary based on position is next to useless (external display are often above a laptop display) I would not call this a "wishlist" item, I would call it a "must have". Compare how hard it is to configure multiple displays with X and how easy it is with XP. Guess what one of the first things a new Linux user with a laptop will try is....yup, dual screens. The gnome display manager should include this new (vital) feature and the other xrandr functions. -- gnome-display-properties: no way to set which is the primary monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206528 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is a bug assignee. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
