Hi Ave, 
           What type of graphics card do you have? If it is a Nvidia card do you use the open source Nouveau driver or the Nvidia one?

Title:
  selecting resolution in monitors doesnt change resolution in log in
  screen etc

Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  Incomplete
Status in Light Display Manager:
  New
Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu doesnt always select the correct/desired resolution for your monitor. When you choose the correct resolution using the monitors application, it corrects the resolution for the system, but not for the log in screen, grub menu or boot up screen. 
  what happens then, in my case, is that my monitor doesnt support the detected resolution, and so I am unable to use the log in screens, or view the splash screen etc.
