Description Pacho Ramos 2013-04-12 18:28:11 UTC 
We are getting complaints about problems with monitors handling:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=464022

They are easily solved simply reusing generated monitors.xml file... would be possible to make that step more easily (and be done from configuration)?

Thanks

A relatively easy fix that can be add quickly to Gnome is to copy "~/.config/monitors.xml" to "/var/lib/gdm/.config" when you configure your display in GNOME settings > Display.

That will be a great improvement.

Is anybody know if we will be able to export the layout to gdm in Gnome 3.22 or if this will need more time ?
Thanks !
