When you have a setup consisting of multiple monitors, the default is
that the first monitor detected by xrandr is set to the primary monitor.
However this may not be the monitor you need to be set as primary. In
fact this monitor set to primary may in fact be disconnected.
This has happened for the original submitter of the pull request and it
affected these programs:
* XMonad: Gets confused with Super + {w,e,r}
* SDDM: Puts the login screen on the wrong monitor, and does not
currently duplicate the login screen on all monitors
* XMobar: Puts the XMobar on the wrong monitor, as it only puts the
taskbar on the primary monitor
These changes should fix that not only by setting a primary monitor in
xrandrHeads but also make it possible to make a different monitor the
primary one.
The changes are also backwards-compatible.

The user handling now keeps track of deallocated UIDs/GIDs. When a user
|
|
or group is revived, this allows it to be allocated the UID/GID it had before.
|
|
A consequence is that UIDs and GIDs are no longer reused.

The module option <option>services.xserver.xrandrHeads</option> now
|
|
causes the first head specified in this list to be set as the primary
|
|
head. Apart from that, it's now possible to also set additional options
|
|
by using an attribute set, for example:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
{ services.xserver.xrandrHeads = [
|
|
"HDMI-0"
|
|
{
|
|
output = "DVI-0";
|
|
primary = true;
|
|
monitorConfig = ''
|
|
Option "Rotate" "right"
|
|
'';
|
|
}
|
|
];
|
|
}
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
This will set the <literal>DVI-0</literal> output to be the primary head,
|
|
even though <literal>HDMI-0</literal> is the first head in the list.

Modules can now be disabled by using <link

disabledModules</link>, allowing another to take it's place. This can be

Updated to FreeType 2.7.1, including a new TrueType engine.
|
|
The new engine replaces the Infinality engine which was the default in
|
|
NixOS. The default font rendering settings are now provided by
|
|
fontconfig-penultimate, replacing fontconfig-ultimate; the new defaults
|
|
are less invasive and provide rendering that is more consistent with
|
|
other systems and hopefully with each font designer's intent. Some
|
|
system-wide configuration has been removed from the Fontconfig NixOS
|
|
module where user Fontconfig settings are available.
