[Bug 1492820] Re: unity greeter does not respect if a screen is in portrait orientation

 

** Description changed:

  Ubuntu 15.04
  unity-greeter 15.04.4-0ubuntu1
  
  I have two screens. The main screen is in landscape orientation, the
  second screen is in portrait orientation. The unity greeter displays the
  wallpaper on the second screen as if the screen was also in landscape
  orientation, so it appears 90° rotated.
  
- I would like to have the wallpaper on the second screen rotated
- correctly or not displayed at all (just a black screen).
+ There seems to be now way to configure the screen arrangement and
+ orientation for the unity greeter. Also screens can have different
+ aspect ratios which makes it difficult to automatically display
+ wallpapers in an aesthetically pleasing manner. It would probably be
+ best to only display the wallpaper and login prompt on the main display
+ and leave all other screens black.
