Public bug reported:
I have a laptop with a very high-res screen (Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro with 3200x1600
screen). To make this more usable I set the display to a resolution of
1920x1080 and a higher DPI of 120x120 in the LightDM settings:
xserver-command=X -dpi 120
display-setup-script=xrandr --output eDP1 --mode 1920x1080 --primary
These settings are ignored or overridden by the unity-greeter. Other
greeters, e.g. lightdm-kde-greeter, correctly apply these settings.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Change your DPI and resolution settings to be something other than the
default for your laptop's display in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, using
xserver-command and display-setup-script as above
2. Ensure lightdm is set to use the unity-greeter
2. Restart lightdm or reboot the laptop
Expected results:
The lightdm Unity login screen is shown with the resolution and DPI you set
using xserver-command and display-setup-script in lightdm.conf
Actual results:
The settings are ignored/overridden and lightdm shows the login screen using
the default resolution and DPI for your device
Workaround:
Use lightdm-kde-greeter:
sudo apt-get install lightdm-kde-greeter
greeter-session=lightdm-kde-greeter
