@2vi1: Yeah, it overshoots at the bottom, too. I found two work-arounds. From memory,
A. 1. select your wm, 2. tab (once if I recall), 3. press enter, then the dialogue window will change or go back to the log-in dialogue, 4. input your password if you haven't done so already and see yourself log into the desktop environment of your choice. Please feel free to correct me. B. Another work around is to uninstall unused window managers so as to make the drop down list shorter, optimizing use of screen real estate. Comment: I'd like to see this fixed, but there's two temporary "solutions". Observation: I gather this is happening because the system's difficulty in determining my monitor's EDID, as reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1047156 Side Question: Might the system's difficulty in determining EDID drastically slow down boot up? I've run various diagnostics and my HD is fine, only one fan is out, which is noted by the Apple diagnostic. This MacBook Pro used to boot fine with prior versions of Ubuntu which didn't have this TFT issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1047140 Title: lightdm overshoots physical screen size Status in Light Display Manager: New Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Problem: lightdm displays excessively large Symptoms: I can't confirm change of window manager and top menu leaks over to right hand side. The screen is a LCD Citizen C19604HD that should run 1440x 900 at 60 Hz. Upon entering the desktop the session is also excessively large, 1224 x 768 (4:3) (apparently what's running in lightdm, as it offsets the same) and only allows a worse setting of 800 x 600 (4:3).
