2010-09-15 06:15:24 Darren Adams description Binary package hint: gdm Using Maverick 10.10 betas Since updating to Maverick 10.10, GDM doesn't seem to start correctly with my dual monitor setup, preventing the login screen from appearing. However, when one of these monitors is unplugged GDM correctly configures the display and the login screen appears. I don't think this is related to the [Intel] xorg driver (the attached xorg log indicates that both devices are detected and set to the correct mode), and running startx does allow me to switch into a graphical session. There also seems to be no problem with drm (no warnings in the dmesg output). Regardless, I'll attach output from the lspci, dmesg, and the xorg.log Version of gdm is 2.30.5-0ubuntu4 Binary package hint: gdm Using Maverick 10.10 betas Since updating to Maverick 10.10, GDM doesn't seem to start correctly with my dual monitor setup, preventing the login screen from appearing.

When only one monitors is plugged in, GDM correctly configures the display and the login screen appears. It's almost like GDM is trying to 'spread' the resolution of one monitor across both monitors, meaning that in my case where I have two monitors, both with a maximum resolution of 1600x900, GDM is either trying to: 1. Set up both monitors with a resolution of 800x900 2. Use a single resolution of 1600x900 and somehow make that work over both screens I don't think this is related to the [Intel] xorg driver, as the attached xorg log indicates that both devices - VGA1 and DVI1 - are detected, and running startx does allow me to switch into a graphical session. There also seems to be no problem with drm (no warnings in the dmesg output). Regardless, I'll attach output from the lspci, dmesg, and the xorg.log Version of gdm is 2.30.5-0ubuntu4. I can't provide an xorg.conf file because my system doesn't have one (and didn't need one) Of course, if there is anything else you would like me to provide, I'll try my best to do so
