Testing out F13-Beta-64. I was puzzled why I could only see my mouse cursor and no Anaconda on the monitor. Obviously the x-server was loaded.
Then I realized that even though my DVI connected TV was powered *off* it was selected as primary screen, instead of my CRT (which was powered on). So Anaconda was on another screen.
In some ways I am happy that dual-head works out of the box (nouveau), but I had to physically unplug my DVI cable before I could get my CRT to be used for installation.
My question is: Is this the correct behavior we want? If so, how could I tell Anaconda to use my CRT as primary?
I'm hesitant to call this a bug.
I plan on running many more installs before F13 is released. This will be incredibly annoying.
I believe I have accidentally just reported very similar (or the same) bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=582525
In case powered off displays are really detected as powered on displays (as some people claim here, I didn't know that) and it can't be fixed, then IMHO having spanned desktop by default is a very bad idea...
