domini99 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Hey, I've successfully installed and configured my Yosemite hackintosh, now my multi monitor setup (24" 1920x1080 + 19" 1280x1024) works fine in OS X itself, But even though i set my 24" one as my main monitor, the login screen keeps showing on my secondary 19" one. Anybody got any idea on how to fix this? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298823-multi-monitor-setup-login-screen-on-wrong-monitor/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCOO Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I have the same problem. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298823-multi-monitor-setup-login-screen-on-wrong-monitor/#findComment-2030258 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Switch ports? I use DisplayPort + DVI. For a long time I was using a single monitor on the DisplayPort. When I connected my second display to DVI, BIOS screens and boot process moved to the second display. I assumed I'd have to live with that. My GTX 660 has two DVI ports. I switched DVI ports by accident one day when I was cleaning. Now, the BIOS, login screen and everything else is back on the display that's connected to the DisplayPort.

MiniHack Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I have an issue which may be the same/similar. For whichever video output is set as primary, I can only boot successfully if I actually connect to the secondary output. E.g. if I want to use DP I must set HDMI as primary and DP as secondary (or else it never reaches the desktop). Similarly if I want to use HDMI then I need to set DP as primary or again it simply fails to reach the desktop. System is a Haswell NUC with HD 5000. BTW, with Mavericks - using the same Clover setup (rev 2721) - everything is okay…... Other than that, all seems good. Any ideas ?

PerkyMango Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Go to display and drag the white bar at the top of the incorrect screen to the top of the primary screen. Help this helps! ~shad0whack3r EDIT: Sorry, seems I didn't read the thread through... This post must be pretty useless.

Help this helps! ~shad0whack3r EDIT: Sorry, seems I didn't read the thread through... This post must be pretty useless. Yep, pretty much…. Think I am happy that for the moment there is nothing for me to do and I can live with it. Looks like this bizarre quirk is hopefully a bug that will resolve itself with upcoming DP. Either that or more people will notice and report it and a solution will be found. It's not a huge deal, but does mean that at start up I have to deal with low res graphics until the desktop arrives (in full QE/CI….). Very likely there are quite a few people out there who think that they can't boot 10.10 at all because they never tried it on their secondary graphics connection.

Armacham Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I have the same issue with the latest Maverick patch and with Yosmite dp1/dp2, primary screen switched, i think its an issue with the newer nvidia drivers. Switching the primary screen in control panel helps (drag the white bar).

RCOO Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 This issue got solved on the "DP2" of Yosemite, at least for me. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298823-multi-monitor-setup-login-screen-on-wrong-monitor/#findComment-2032655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
domini99 Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 Switching ports didn't help, I'll try to update. Anybody knows anything about the title bars on several windows like chrome? For me they get mixed up, don't fit in with the colors or become glitched Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298823-multi-monitor-setup-login-screen-on-wrong-monitor/#findComment-2033980 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hakimi Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Did anyone ever solve this issue in official Yosemite release? I'm using a laptop and have this issue. The only thing that disturbs me is that the number of desktop in the Mission Control increases on each boot. One thing that I noticed is that at the login screen, it has a default arrangement in which my laptop screen will be on the left upper of my external monitor. Is there any way we can change the default arrangement?
