Yes, I think the upstream bug report addresses my issue. When Windows XP shows the login screen on both displays it uses (the smaller) notebook resolution. This resolution is also shown on the external display, but not stretched (like ubuntu does it) but centered.
The best solution would be if I could switch between the displays (and perhaps mirror mode) with Fn+F8 (or whatever it is on other notebooks) when GDM is displayed. Just the way it is when logged in. When GDM is mirrored on both displays it should use the Windows approach (centering instead of stretching). -- [i965GM] GDM is starting up with wrong display resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/404919 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
