for me the problem was indeed the xorg.conf file. I'm running ubuntu through VMware on windows XP. in terminal I typed the following:
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf I entered the password and then I scrolled down in xorg.conf until I found the resolution that I didn't like: 1920 x 1440. I changed it to 1280 x 960. the line I changed in xorg.conf now looks like: Virtual 1280 960 I exited and saved xorg.conf, logged out, and the login screen looked right this time. thanks to those who provided hints in this thread! -- Login Screen Resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/16472 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
