GDM greeter resolution wrong wont fit on sceen
I have a problem when the gdm greeter screen come up for login. The resolution is wrong and parts of the greeter are off the screen. This has happened after I upgraded from Ubuntu 7.10 to Ubuntu 8.04. I updated from the Kubuntu desktop which I also have installed, using Adept.
It was the correct resolution for the start but I did something that set it wrong and am not certain what I did. I was having problems trying to setup restricted drivers and had not managed to get them when this happened. I think it happened after I managed to change to a better desktop resolution in KDE then logged out and then the gdm greeter was wrong (before I got the restricted drivers). Or it might have happened after logging back into Gnome then trying to stop gdm loadind on start and replacing it with kdm. kdm does not start unless I start it from a command line with sudo, so I tried to go back to gdm. That might have been the cause. Now certain parts of the screen are unavailable for changing session etc. Even if I try and bring up the menu the alternate way to change session "F10", most of the menu is off screen.
I have managed to now get the restricted drivers and have the full resolutions available to set in the Gnome desktop but gdm is still wrong.
My card is Nvidia Geforce FX 5700.
