gdm package

starting and log in screen isn't in the set resolution

Asked by siljo

hi my english is not so good. If is something wrong verbalized or not clear, please don't worry.

I read currently that the 8.10 release will be coming in 22 days but i read also that the 8.04.1 will be supported till 2011, so i don't know if is this report relevant for you.

I have installed a few day's ago the xubuntu release 8.04.1 Hardy heron on my desktop pc with the live cd. I set the screen resolution 1280x960@85. The desktop is allways in evry session in the right resolution. But in boot pase also in login screen starting screen till the desktop comes is the display in a any wrong resolution. That doesn't looks elegant.

When the login screen is on your display,
try to use the keyboard-combinations

 Ctrl-Alt-+ or Ctrl-Alt--

(In DEU:
  Strng-Alt-+ oder Strng-Alt--)
Keep the keys Ctrl and Alt pressed down and then short press on your PLUS or MINUS key...

Further more you can try to login,
then logout and login again to see if the login screen stays in the correct resolution.

Can you help with this problem?
