Hello
I've hit a bit of a snag, I'm trying to set the default screen res for gdm3 (the Greeter (login)) screen
I have gone though greeter.dconf-defaults found the option for the welcome text, just not the screen resolution
once I log in as a user, I can set/change that users screen res,
I'm hoping its something simple that I've missed
thanks in advance

Become ROOT?once I log in as a user, I can set/change that users screen res,
Make the change.
Save.
Close.
The change should be kept.

Re: Greeter (login) screen resolution
Once you've logged in, is the users desktop resolution as expected? Is it just the login greeter that is wrong?

Re: Greeter (login) screen resolution
Yes. it's only the greeter, not a user's environment/profile
i was hoping its a line in the "greeter.dconf-defaults" but I don't see anything about it or for it

Re: Greeter (login) screen resolution
I use lightdm and have a line within its /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
display-setup-script=/usr/local/bin/1280x720
and that script contains a xrandr command specific to my hardware to set my preferred resolution
#!/bin/bash
xrandr --output DVI-I-2 --mode 1280x720_60.00 --rate 59.86 --output DVI-I-1 --off
Searching using that concept for gdm produced

Re: Greeter (login) screen resolution
What about Xorg? Wouldn't that set the initial resolution before the login greeter. Then, maybe, Gnome Shell changes the resolution again after the greeter.
Do you use a xorg.conf file?

Re: Greeter (login) screen resolution
Anyone figure this out? I have tried many ideas via Google none worked, not monitors.xml trick, not xrandr run in Default for gdm3, etc. Don't seem to have valid xorg.conf file applicable for the greeter?

Re: Greeter (login) screen resolution
Seem here, really would like to know how to do this. Wonder why the developers of gnome never seem to explain this? Just asking?
