Package: gdm3
Version: 3.12.2-2.1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Booted my laptop with external display attached
* What was the outcome of this action?
Internal display turned off, no login screen on secondary display
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Preferably login screen mirrored on all displays, at least leave built in
display turned on.
If I boot the system with the external display disconnected then connect it
after the login screen turns on it works 'till I log off.
Attempts to change the display layout often leave me with no workable display.
This all used to work perfectly.
