Bug#862317: sddm: It should clone itself on multi monitor setups
Package: sddm
Version: 0.14.0-4
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
when I have more than one display plugged in, sddm mirrors itself on both.
However it only "seems" to mirror itself, because the mouse cursor is only in
one of them, and of course the edge which makes it go to the other screen is
chosen arbitrarily with no relation of what the user configuration is about
the position of the screens.
For this reason, I believe it would be simpler but better to just set them
to mirror the same image completely, including the cursor.
Best
