Comment 11 for bug 1571640

If so, how does one permanently prevent the unity-greeter-daemon scaling to
account for HiDPI? I have the following set:

Unity Tweak Tools->Fonts-> "Text Scaling Factor" has been set to 1.00
System Settings->Displays->"Scale for menu and title bars" has been set
to 1

Note, that this "scaling" effect does not occur after the first instance
(immediately after booting up). Each subsequent calls to the greeter results
in the greeter remembering the User's wallpaper and changing it accordingly
and maintains a consistent screen resolution.

resolution change but that the greeter scales to be hidpi friendly, but
that happens after a small delay when unity-settings-daemon start. Does
that sound correct to you?

  Just after the upgrade to ubuntu 16.04, when lightdm starts the
  resolution is 2560x1600. Then, after about half a second it is
  automatically changed to 1280x800. This happens systematically at each
  boot. No external monitor is connected.
