Login resolution

[SpinningAround]

I update from ubuntu 7.10 to ubuntu 8.04 and most seem to work quite fine so far, but there is one thing and that is the resolution of the login screen. The resolution seem to low since the screen wont show the entire view of the login screen, I don't think that there is a problem with the general resolution since both the desktop and the nvidia logo (show up first) are fine. Is it possible to change the resolution on the login screen?

One example how to change first/login X resolution is to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Just look at screen section:

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes      "1280x1024"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

and modify it as you wish but first make a backup

Is it just the login screen that is having the resolution issue?

I use nvidia driver, I changed X configuration file to keep always same resolution.

You might like to try adding the following.....from terminal

but first take a backup

cd /boot/grub
sudo cp menu.lst menu.bak

then

sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

I'm thinking you may need to add the following entry in red (scroll across)
