Monitor selection doesn't seem to work for me. Setting
xlogin.Login.selectMonitor to 0 or 1 shows Login window on DVI1 output
(which is left-of DVI0, though, and has 1280x1024+0+0 geometry).

Screen size is set in Xsetup_0 using xrandr and with
xlogin.Login.{x,y,width,height) I can get Login window to appear on DVI0
(one on the right) output.

xrandr output:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2560 x 1024, maximum 8192 x 8192
DVI0 connected 1280x1024+1280+0 359mm x 287mm
DVI1 connected 1280x1024+0+0 338mm x 270mm


Thanks,
