The same happens with the gtk greeter. The problem here is, that lightdm/xorg mirrors the display per default (at least with intel drivers, not with nvidia tho), so on both monitors i see the lightdm login screen and with one monitor being lower resolution, the second monitor gets the lower resolution aswell, otherwise its not possible to mirror. If the 2 Monitors would be the same resolution, it would be fine.
Console gets mirrored on both screens aswell with the bigger screen not utilized fully. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1082952 Title: Lightdm does not display correct resolution in multimonitor setup Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When a second Monitor is connected, lightdm displays wrong resolution (the one from the smaller) on the primary monitor. I have one display with 1900x1200 and a secondary monitor with 1280x1024. When lightdm starts it gets displayed on both monitors with 1280x1024 which looks terrible on the primary instead of using the native resolution on both or only displaying on the primary.
