GDM low resolution

Slurp · 2009-02-18 12:48:00

I searched the forum and there are several topics with this issue but none of the solutions worked, so here is one more.

It used to work ok, but I reinstalled everything yesterday and, despite of using the same xorg.conf my resolution in GDM is something like 800x600 when it should be 1280x800 as it is in Gnome.

And I don't know if it is related but GDM seems to try to start twice. I see the login prompt in shell, then everything black for 2 seconds, then login prompt again and then GDM...

Thanks in advance.
