Title:
  When using an external monitor, LightDM uses a low resolution on both

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have a laptop with a screen resolution of 1366x768 and an external
  24" monitor which has a native resolution of 1920x1080.

  LightDM mirrors the image on both screens, however the resolution for both screens falls back to something low, like 1024x768. I think this is probably the highest resolution that both monitors are capable of, but it has the result of the login screen looking bad on both.
