Setting xlogin.Login.selectMonitor to 0 or 1 shows Login window on DVI1 output (which is left-of DVI0, though, and has 1280x1024+0+0 geometry). Screen size is set in Xsetup_0 using xrandr and with xlogin.Login.{x,y,width,height) I can get Login window to appear on DVI0 (one on the right) output. xrandr output: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2560 x 1024, maximum 8192 x 8192 DVI0 connected 1280x1024+1280+0 359mm x 287mm DVI1 connected 1280x1024+0+0 338mm x 270mm Thanks, Yuri
