Dual Monitors: GDM is R/L while Gnomes is L/R

My old Dell Vostro 3350 notebook has both VGA & HDMI outputs. When the LCD lid is closed, both output works.

In Gnome Display Settings, I arranged the logical position to match the physical positions. That is: Left is HDMI while Right is VGA . (Gnome assigned Display Identifiers 2 to VGA and 3 to HDMI)

Now, in GDM, the logical positions are in reverse. That is: VGA is Left while HDMI is right.

How can I override the logical position of displays in GDM?

Would you like to double check with Gnome Setting on which one of the monitors are set as main display?

My main display is the VGA (physical right). I set it like that as it has more vertical pixels.

That method worked perfectly for me.

This solution still works for Fedora 36
