kdm_greet puts the login screen on the LVDS even though it is not primary (and in fact is closed).

Reproducible: Always

According to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28936, it is kdm that should disable the LVDS display if the lid is closed.

After some more research, this may be a Qt issue.  Apparently for this system, screen 0 is the right side screen and screen 1 is on the left.  kdm_greet places the login panel on screen 0 by default.  Setting GreeterScreen to -1 in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc gets it to appear on the left screen.
