** Description changed: Binary package hint: gdm Using Maverick 10.10 betas - Since updating to Maverick 10.10, GDM doesn't seem to start correctly - with my dual monitor setup, preventing the login screen from appearing. - However, when one of these monitors is unplugged GDM correctly - configures the display and the login screen appears. + I have a dual monitor setup, and since updating to Maverick 10.10 (this + never happened in 10.04), GDM cannot properly display the login screen + when both monitors are plugged in.

There also seems to be no problem with drm (no warnings in the dmesg output). Regardless, I'll attach output from the lspci, dmesg, and the xorg.log - Version of gdm is 2.30.5-0ubuntu4 + Version of gdm is 2.30.5-0ubuntu4. I can't provide an xorg.conf file + because my system doesn't have one (and didn't need one) Of course, if there is anything else you would like me to provide, I'll try my best to do so
