This problem persists after logging in and is illustrated by these pictures: GDM display: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/80418888/IMG_20110920_091338.jpg In-session display: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/80418884/IMG_20110920_091318.jpg It's rather common to boot with the screen connected, so the use case for this really is problematic as the Ubuntu splash doesn't look right when a workstation is started like this. I happen to be in an environment where everyone runs Windows and cosmetic details like this really undermine confidence in Ubuntu. This was also tested with a 11.10 nightly 3 weeks ago. I have to use the monitors utility every-time the system is rebooted to adjust resolutions.
