Public bug reported:
I'm having a similar issue to the one described in #146828, but with
Hardy.
My monitor's native resolution is 1600x1200. When I installed hardy
(console-based net-install), my monitor (Samsung SyncMaster213T) and/or
video card (Intel GMA33 onboard) did not get autodetected properly --
standard 1024x768 VGA mode was used and higher resolutions were not
selectable. I had to manually configure them with displayconfig-gtk,
setting the video driver to 'intel' and choosing 'SyncMaster
213T/cx210t' for the monitor. Now gnome-display-properties shows all of
the supported resolutions I chose 1600x1200, and Gnome displayed it
correctly. Unfortunately, GDM still displays at 1024x768. When I log
in, the Gnome desktop again shows up at the correct 1600x1200
resolution. I'm attaching my xorg.conf file for reference.
Ubuntu hardy (development branch)
Release: 8.04
completely updated as of Apr 13.
Expected: GDM would use the resolution configured in Gnome.
Actual result: GDM uses a lower resolution.
** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
