Apparently[1] it is up to the desktop environment now to deactivate the LVDS display if the laptop lid is closed at boot (or whenever?). I now have several F13 laptops in docks with external monitors that boot with the lid closed, but kdm_greet puts the login panel on the closed LVDS display (see bug[2]). I've also filed a Fedora bug for similar stuff here [3]. I don't know how gdm behaves.
Any other comments/help? I tried doing:
# Disable LVDS if another output is up if xrandr --current | grep -qE '^(DVI|VGA).* connected' then lvds=$(xrandr --current | awk '$1 ~ /LVDS/ { print $1 }') xrandr --output $lvds --off fi
in /etc/kde/kdm/Xsetup, but kdm_greet appears to get stuck in an infinite loop and I only see the small round black spinner cursor, never the login panel.
I thought about posting to the Fedora KDE list, but I'd like to get some wider input.

I think I have noticed the same behaviour, but with gdm - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=595644 is cloned from older F-12 bug, because the issue reappeared in F-13.

I can help debugging if someone familiar with this stuff can give pointers where to start looking at..
