As I understood, xorg / xrandr or lightMD manage which monitors is primary only from the logging screen?
What can I set in order to get the initial "encryption screen" on my DisplayPort monitor and not on my laptop monitor? Grub? I found nothing in my BIOS (Dell A13).
Thanks.

n.b. When I go to BIOS and then reboot, sometimes the encryption screen displays on my DP monitor.
EDIT: when I press F8 (switching screen) my DP monitor is reacting but won't display the logo and password field... Quite strange.

Basically you should make a Startup Application file, which determines the primary monitor. To know your monitors, run

What I find really strange is that DP1 reacts but doesn't show the logo and password field.
