Thank you for your bug report, was the screen resolution fine for your
session after login? Does the issue happen if you use the nouveau
opensource driver?

Title:
Ubuntu Login Form is Left of Visablity on the Login Screen
Status in Unity Greeter:
Incomplete
Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Last night I installed Ubuntu 12.04 64bit onto my cousin's HP quad-
core computer and HP 1080P monitor (I will post more hardware details
tonight).
The installation went fine, and everything worked from the live CD
using the "Try Ubuntu" option.
However, after installation, the login-form (on the login screen) was
completely left-of the left-most pixel in the monitor, and (therefore)
not visable to the user.
LightDM seems to be displaying that purple-studded-login-screen so
largely, that it won't fit on the monitor, and (to make matters worse)
the login screen is anchored top-right, so the login text-box (float-
left) is about 5 inches to the left of where the monitors left-most
pixels begins!
To discover this, I turned on the screen-speaking feature (from the
top-right panel), and then I click the screen with the mouse. It told
me (speaking out-loud) what I *SHOULD BE* seeing. So, I typed in the
password *without being able to actually see the form*. It was kind of
funny; for each password-letter I typed it spoke "asterisk" (asterisk
asterisk asterisk . . .)!!! Anyway, I got logged in, and as a
temporary work-around, I made his user account login automatically:
System Settings > User Accounts > Automatic Login > ON
I've experienced resolution problems with login-screens in the past, but
previous version's login-screens were anchored top-left (not top-right), and
the form was intended to be "center" (not float-left), so such issues were less
severe because the form would have been just "off-center" (instead of
not-visible).
