[Bug 16472] Re: Login Screen Resolution
Hi, all! Im using Kubuntu hardy and im having strange problem. My xorg.conf file doesnt look like it should, coz i have no SubSection Display or Modes. Let me paste it here: Section InputDevice Identifier Generic Keyboard Driver kbd Option XkbRules xorg Option XkbModel pc105 Option XkbLayout hr Option XkbOptionslv3:ralt_switch EndSection Section InputDevice Identifier Configured Mouse Driver mouse Option CorePointer EndSection Section Device Identifier Configured Video Device Driver fglrx EndSection Section Monitor Identifier Configured Monitor EndSection Section Screen Identifier Default Screen Monitor Configured Monitor Device Configured Video Device Defaultdepth24 EndSection Section ServerLayout Identifier Default Layout screen Default Screen EndSection Section Module Loadglx EndSection I have same problem with login window screen resolution (bigger that my working one). Will it help to add those missing parts into my xorg.conf file? Login resolution is [EMAIL PROTECTED] and i need it to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] or @100 (monitor can pull this one).

Happened to me when upgrading to hardy The fix I used (which I haven't had to do in years, like before graphical logins ) is to reorganise the Modes in Section screen # of the xorg.conf so that the mode you want to use by default is the first in the list. eg : original xorg.conf file using the wrong size 800x600 used but my display is 1280x1024 Modes[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] change to Modes [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Login Screen Resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/16472 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Thanks buddies, running this command from terminal fixed my issue as well. One thing I noticed, as edam posted earlier, I had to reactivate restricted drivers for NVIDIA. Also I noticed that sometimes my computers boots up while loading the OS, and my keyboard changed from the default layout. Nothing serious. I'll let you know if the booting keeps going on.

[Bug 16472] Re: Login Screen Resolution
@Big_Rog, I'm suffereing from the exact same problem you're describing. I have the same Failsafe sections in xorg.conf and the login screen resolution is larger than will fit on the screen. Would you mind elabourating on how you fixed the issue? What do you mean exactly when you say you replaced the Failsafe sections? For the devs: This issue appeared when upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04 and although I'm now using the respos. nVidia drivers, I have previously used drivers from the nVidia site. -- Login Screen Resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/16472 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I've re-run Envy to reset the drivers and xorg.conf, but this nasty little bit is still there. My nVidia control panel sees my monitor and card correctly, and the hardware works correctly (3d acceleration, proper resolution, etc.) when logged in. The login screen is only rendered at low resolution with the ability to scroll around a larger virtual resolution.

same issue on amd64 with Gutsy 7.10. I tried the plain login screen solution - no help, I inspected my xorg.conf, but it seems correct, I treid the aticonfig but this crashed even if aticonfig --help worked (I filed a bug report).

[Bug 16472] Re: Login Screen Resolution
for me the problem was indeed the xorg.conf file. I'm running ubuntu through VMware on windows XP. in terminal I typed the following: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf I entered the password and then I scrolled down in xorg.conf until I found the resolution that I didn't like: 1920 x 1440. I changed it to 1280 x 960. the line I changed in xorg.conf now looks like: Virtual1280 960 I exited and saved xorg.conf, logged out, and the login screen looked right this time. thanks to those who provided hints in this thread! -- Login Screen Resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/16472 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Yeah, I have the same problem but I am running 7.10beta (I can't change the milestone for this bug unfortunately) This happened after I updated my nvidia-glx-new driver a couple of days ago.

I too faced the same problem recently (when I was switching back and forth between kdm and gdm) I restored by login window fonts by the following method. - the login window themes for kubuntu was in /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/kubuntu/ - the heart of the theme was kubuntu.xml - sudo vi kubuntu.xml - decrease the font size (in my case decreased it to 8) - restart the display manager - yo! it worked. -- Login Screen Resolution https://launchpad.net/bugs/16472 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 16472] Re: Login Screen Resolution
I have try Rajib Ghosh's method,but it doesn't work on my system. I found a new way to work out the problem. Using aticonfig command.

[Bug 16472] Re: Login Screen Resolution
Found a workaround! I am facing the same problem. /etc/x11/xorg.conf has only 1 res specified (1024x768), yet the GDM login screen appears at 1280x1024 since that was the res. I initially configured Ubuntu with (ubuntu 6.06 LTS). Used gdmsetup (or System-Administration-Login Window) to switch to Plain greeter (Tab Local-Style:Plain). After a logout, the Plain greeter took over and it appeared in the correct resolution. Used the above procedure to switch back to Graphical (Themed) greeter and logout. Voila! The new greeter too appeared in the correct resolution. Hope this helps in diagnosis and fixing for the dev team. -- Login Screen Resolution https://launchpad.net/bugs/16472 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
