Running 9.10 on a system with nvidia graphics (7600 GS) here, and I've noticed that the login screen runs at 1280x960 but pans up to a 1920x1080 screen, even though my default and preferred resolution is 1280x960.
I'm pretty sure this is because I have custom MetaModes specified in my xorg.conf, and when X starts it looks for the "virtual" resolution of the display, and the nvidia driver looks through the metamodes to determine that, always assuming that a bigger dimension is preferred. >From my /var/log/Xorg.0.log: (II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1920 x 1080 Once I've logged in, it goes to my actual preferred resolution, because something further up the stack and after the login screen remembers my settings. I'm not sure if this explains all the cases reported in this bug, but it might help. How many of the reported cases here have nvidia graphics? -- Login screen has wrong resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222444 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
