The greeter is displaying correctly now on my setup: both screens are
set to 1680x1050 (at least that is the case with kernel 3.1; kernel 3.0
has a bug that powers down the external monitor when the gdm greeter or
lightdm greeter runs).

Bug description:
  Upon booting with an external monitor (1920x1200 resolution) hooked up
  to my laptop (1920x1080 resolution), the external display mirrors the
  laptop display, but garbles the screen (see screenshot).

  Using GDM, the external display is treated as extra screen space
  (greeter appears on laptop screen only), and is not garbled
