I have two screens:



HDMI-0 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 708mm x 398mm  
DVI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VGA-0 connected primary 1920x1080+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 477mm x 268mm


It's always the HDMI screen which gets the lightdm "Focus". I can not login via the VGA-screen, it stay purple...



I tried to configure /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf with:



[greeter]
active-monitor=cursor


it just does not work.



A little help will be an improvement, i am always obliged to switch on my TV to login....



Thanks
