Description

This use case describes the scenario of booting with multiple displays


How to test

  1. Turn your computer off (most likely a laptop in this scenario)
  2. Plug in an external monitor
  3. Turn your computer on again
  4. Watch the boot sequence up to the login screen

Expected Results

What is reasonable?
Note that we ask for you to judge whether the system behaviour is 'reasonable' or not, without prescribing the exact outcome. If some aspect of the system behaviour is surprising or confusing to you, it is probably worth pointing out.
  • The graphical boot should behave 'reasonably' in the presence of multiple displays.
  • Reasonable behaviours might be:
    1. Ignore the external display
    2. Clone the displays if they have the same dimensions
    3. Treat the displays as one big screen with the Fedora logo appearing on one of the monitors
  • Unreasonable behaviours would include:
    1. Clone the displays when they have different dimensions, causing the image on one of them to be either cut off or surrounded by big black borders
    2. The Fedora logo appearing halfway on both monitors
  • The login screen should behave 'reasonably' in the presence of multiple displays.
  • Reasonable behaviours might be:
    1. Ignore the external display
    2. Clone the displays if they have the same dimensions
    3. Treat the displays as one big screen with the login screen appearing on one of the monitors
  • Not reasonable would include:
    1. Clone the displays when they have different dimensions, causing the image on one of them to be either cut off or surrounded by big black borders
    2. Stretch the login screen over both monitors, causing the greeter to appear halfway on both monitors
