Your system information

*Steam client version: Aug 23 2018, 19:47:27
*Distribution: Antergos 18.8
*Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
*Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I have three monitors, all 1080p. When launching big picture mode it is ignoring my preference for primary monitor in the desktop environment deepin and also the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. It displays on a secondary monitor. This makes it impossible to browse big picture mode when using the steam link or steam link application.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Launch big picture mode from PC or from Steam Link
  2. Primary monitor will display on steam link, but big picture mode will not be visible as it is on a different monitor.
