In case it has some significance. When booting with the external monitor connected via HDMI I can get the login screen to show on the external monitor, though the resolution is very low. After login, the monitor turns black showing only the mouse pointer (the resolution seems right after login judging by the look of the mouse pointer). In some cases, the login screen doesn't show, but the background shows up and is covered with the correct wallpaper in what seems to be the correct resolution. This however, is not very amusing, when the ability to log in is missing.
