Using a lenovo U160 with external 1080p as screen, on 11.04 I had to run arandr instead of xrandr because the latter did not work properly- the arandr created a sh that I run at startup making it all work well, *also in the greeting*.
Now in 11.10 it works well without script, but the greeting is mirrored screens set to the lowest resolution, which looks real bad on the 1080p, and the mosaic in the transition to running system. -- 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 Status in “lightdm” source package in Precise: Triaged Status in “unity-greeter” source package in Precise: 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).
