Changing gdm default login screen resolution

Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

For the display depth selected remove or add the desired resolution in the front. Thus say,

Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection

will use "1024x768" for the login screen if this section is the selected display based on DefaultDepth parameter.
