I think it depends on which display is set as your
primary display. I do not
remember exactly but I think you can configure this as root for the login
screen. For example the Greeter should be configured to use mirrored
displays (default) and the user should be extended display. In this case
you get login screen on both displays and after this the user configuration
is loaded with extended setup.
I don't find the strings mirror or extended in tdmrc.dpkg-dist or the abbreviated
tdmrc. I know what you're describing, but I don't see any such settings in TCC.
In
Monitor & Display, everything is grayed out. In Login Manager settings, the only
things I see having to do with display selection are an Identify Screens button,
and a select list for how and where backgrounds appear.
BTW, I'm trying to get this to happen using Intel IGPs on multiple PCs on both
openSUSE and/or Debian first, then others, once (if?) successful.
