Multiple screens - set which displays shell

[FunshineX 0]

I have a computer with a screen directly attached, and 4 more attached via cable.  When I book the computer, the main bios is printed to the attached screen, and stops at Initializing Components...  The shell is then printed on one of the other screens.  How can I set the shell to run on the main attached screen, not the ones connected via cable?

bind(address: string): boolean[, string]
Tries to bind the GPU to a screen with the specified address. Returns true on success, false and an error message on failure.
A GPU can only be bound to one screen at a time. All operations on it will work on the bound screen. If you wish to control multiple screens at once, you'll need to put more than one graphics card into your computer.

That was taking right from the wiki.

 Type that into a lua prompt or make an autorun command for it.

The screen switch is because the "primary" component system is provided by OpenOS, not the Lua BIOS or the sandbox. The BIOS binds the first GPU to the first screen, and that is what OpenOS will show the boot progress log on. Once OpenOS' component additions are loaded, the last screen with a keyboard is set as the primary screen, which is then bound to the primary GPU. The definitons of "first" and "last" are basically random. All that is guaranteed is that the primary screen will have a keyboard, unless there is no screen with a keyboard.

I think Plan9k is Multiscreen compatible.

 

If you want to use OpenOS remove the lines 31 to 36 in init.lua and replace them with:

local screen = "<SCREEN ADDRESS HERE>"
