Title:
  Dual monitors, bad resolutions in GDM

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdm

  I have a laptop screen with a resolution of 1366x768 and an external
  monitor connected via VGA, the external monitor has a resolution of
  1280x1024. Graphics card is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 using the
  default open source driver.

  When Plymouth loads, I get a cloned splash screen on both monitors at
  their correct resolutions. This is really nice.

  Once GDM starts the monitors remain cloned but the resolution of both
  screens drops very low. This is not very nice.

  While logging in the correct resolutions are set again and screens
  move into extended mode. This is really nice.

  Expected behaviour: Resolution should be consistent throughout the
  startup process.

  I have also tried 10.10, the issue remains
