Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Cant log in from external monitor on laptop with broken screen. Post 303029508 by bakunin on Monday 28th of January 2019 08:10:03 AM

This sounds like your laptop is treating the external monitor as a secondary display and the (non-existing?) internal display as first. Perhaps the laptop has an internal graphics adapter and it treats the internal display as first, the external as second.

Usually laptops have some "function key" to switch that behavior. If you could tell us the exact making of your laptop somebody might even know how to do it.

I hope this helps.
