When lightdm starts after rebooting or switching on, I'm greeted with
the login which is mirrored on both of my displays and the primary
monitor resolution is reduced from widescreen to a 4:3 resolution. If I
replug the external monitor, the display is no longer mirrored and the
correct resolution is displayed on the primary monitor. I also get the
Ubuntu logo in the centre of the external display of which I assume is
the correct behaviour. This is on a Lenovo G570 notebook.
