Title:
  lightdm ignores .conf file in /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Setup:
  Ubuntu 14.04.1LTS
  IIyama 19" Pro-Lite Touchscreen
  Dell 17" regular monitor

  Due to another bug in the detection of input devices I had to write a
  script to tell Ubuntu which screen to use the touch from the
  touchscreen.

  so I put the following two entries into a basic bash script based on xinput list and xrandr -q 
  ========
  #!/bin/bash
  xinput map-to-output 12 DVI-I-1
  xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --primary
  =========

  I added this script to /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-dualscreen-touch.conf
  and the contents look like this.
  ============
  [SeatDefaults]
  greeter-setup-script=/usr/local/bin/iiyama-touchscreen.sh
  session-setup-script=/usr/local/bin/iiyama-touchscreen.sh
  ============
  When I start a user session the touchscreen is calibrated and works normally with the touch happening on the touchscreen.
  As soon as I logoff into LightDM the touch calibration is off moving the pointer a logarithmic distance from the left of the touchscreen. 

  As soon as I log in again, no problems, touch works great, log back
  out into the lightDM greeter and boom touch is all crazy.

  Can lightdm please detect that a touchscreen can only accept touch input and output to the touchscreen device??
  Or at least have lightdm actually run the script when given?
