The workaround #6 didn't work for me because Ubuntu 12.04 doesn't have a /var/lib/lightdm/.config directory. Will it work if I create the directory?
Instead, I have managed to force multiple monitors correct resolutions for LightDM using the script suggested in: http://askubuntu.com/questions/119843/how-to-force-multiple-monitors-correct-resolutions-for-lightdm I've changed the script to accept either VGA, DP1, HDMI1 output connections. Here's the script. (I'm sorry if this is not the correct place to put this - but do tell me - I'm learning) ** Attachment added: "Script that forces multiple monitors correct resolutions for LightDM in Ubuntu 12.04" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/1082952/+attachment/3896977/+files/lightdmxrand.sh -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-greeter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1082952 Title: Lightdm does not display correct resolution in multimonitor setup Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When a second Monitor is connected, lightdm displays wrong resolution (the one from the smaller) on the primary monitor. I have one display with 1900x1200 and a secondary monitor with 1280x1024. When lightdm starts it gets displayed on both monitors with 1280x1024 which looks terrible on the primary instead of using the native resolution on both or only displaying on the primary.
