Title:
[desktop] Configuration of screens positions and geometry
Status in Mir:
Fix Released
Status in QtMir:
New
Status in Ubuntu UX:
Triaged
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Under unity7/xorg it's possible to configure the position of the screens and their geometry, that includes
- resolution of each screen
- rotation possible
- relative position (external on top of laptop, or on the right)
- definition of a "primary" monitor (the one containing the launcher if you decide to have that UI element only on one screen)
- etc
Under unity7 the configuration is applied on login by unity-settings-
daemon using xrandr. In the new world unity8 should probably be the
one setting up the configuration at start
It would be useful to have input from design as well, on what should
happen when connecting an unity8 powered device to an external screen.
Should it mirror by default? Do we need settings control to configure
what to do, ...
