Comment 7 for bug 173578

hello,
thank you for your mail. hmm i think that my tft display does not support the
high resolution. ok. i can change the xorg.conf file. i will try it later. is
this file for the resolution of the gdm login screen? because when ubuntu 7.10
was installed the login screen was not visible.
but the bug is in my opinion not, that my monitor is not detecet. the
bug is the
high resolution. maybe many user with "older" displays had this problem.
changing the conf file with a text editor is a possible solution for me, but
many user have not the know how or knowledge for this way. because ubuntu is
user friendly it shoud start with a safe resolution.
is this inncorrect?
greetings from germany!
