Hello:
Seeing that (for the time being) I cannot get v1.4.1 to run under Daedalus, I went looking for a way to solve the problem with how SLiM 1.4.0 behaves in a setup with more than one monitor.
I use a two Nvidia card/ three three monitor setup, with one card connected to monitors #1 and #3 and the other connected to monitor #2.
But I was getting 50% of the login prompt at the right side of the left monitor and 50% at the left side of the right monitor.
One option would have been to make the centre monitor the main monitor (in BIOS) but I wanted to avoid the hassle involved in doing that.
I managed to get the login prompt to appear at the centre of the left monitor by editing my original /usr/share/slim/themes/slim-minimal-master/slim-theme file.
Changing the value of msg_x to 50% did the trick:
msg_x 50%
msg_y 40%
So that was one problem solved.
But, even though the settings username_msg and password_msg are remmed out ...
# username_msg username:
# password_msg password:
... I am still getting the 'Please enter your user name' and 'Please enter your password' prompts, something that did not happen with the pre v1.4.0 versions of SLiM.
What I am looking to get is something really slim:
ie: a black screen with (at most) just the cursor, nothing else.
What setting do I have to modify/add to the slim-theme file to achieve that?
Using the settings below won't work.
# disable welcome message
# position is absolute
# welcome_x -1
# welcome_y -1
Thanks in advance.
Best,
CIV
