[gdm-list] [GDM screen too big for display (2)]

[nikias <nnikias skynet be>]

hello,
> gdm starts default as my login manager.
> The problem is that it doesn't use the correct proportions of my screen.
> Although everything looks sharp, I have to scroll to see the whole screen.
> After I log in, Gnome starts and uses the correct size.
>
> Does anyone have an idea where I have to look to modify it?

> I use /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
> the Modes line shows: "1024x768" "1600x1200" "800x600" "640x480"

> > It's using the highest possible resolution, you need to get rid of
> > "1600x1200" in your config.
> > I had this problem about 6 months ago and this fixed it.
> >
> > Kind Regards,
> > B.Hoffmann

> > > You're correct on this. Although it works, it's not the nice'd solution 
> > > because my monitor(lcd) supports 1600x1200.
> > > In my Gnome-session I can use that resolution without a problem.
> > > But why does gdm try to use the highest resolution? (displaying it wrong)
> > > Could that be a bug?
