Title: Flashing "Could not switch the monitor configuration" on GUI start Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: New Status in unity-greeter package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hi, Since upgrading from Noble to Oracular, I'm seeing a bunch of "Could not switch the monitor configuration" before the login / greeter screen. I'm not sure if this is with lightdm, xorg-server, or unity-greeter itself. In `/var/log/lightdm/seat0-greeter.log`, I see this: | [+0.31s] DEBUG: unity-greeter.vala:123: xsettings is ready | [+0.31s] DEBUG: unity-greeter.vala:497: Creating background surface | [+0.33s]
