On my laptop, the login is displayed on both the 1920x1080 laptop screen and the 1680x1050 external display-port monitor for about half a second. Then both screens abruptly go blank, and shortly afterwards the login reappears on the laptop monitor. It doesn't matter if I'm typing the password at this point (the characters are not lost or anything). It's just rather disconcerting.
The laptop screen is sized correctly to the native resolution with the latest lightdm - before it was being resized to the 1680x1050, like the external monitor. ** Attachment added: ":0-greeter.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/813566/+attachment/2462692/+files/%3A0-greeter.log -- 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/813566 Title: Greeter not displayed correctly on multi monitor setup Status in Light Display Manager: Triaged Status in Unity Greeter: Triaged Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Upon booting with an external monitor (1920x1200 resolution) hooked up to my laptop (1920x1080 resolution), the external display mirrors the laptop display, but garbles the screen (see screenshot).
