This didn't work for me.

Here is what did.


sudo gedit /etc/gdm/Init/Default

Go the end of the file and add this before the exit 0 line:

xrandr -s 1280x1024

Now the resoultion of GDM will be 1280x1024.

Sorry, but I don't understand, once you are logged in, the resolution of your Gnome desktop is Ok, but only the resolution of the login screen is FUBAR?
Is that so?
