Topic: [Resolved]lxrandr,grandr,etc., save config?

I am down to one issue remaining with my system.  Keep in mind this is Beta Janty + 9.04 #! script, so it MIGHT be something broken due to that.  I hope not because my system is perfect except for this issue.

I am not sure what isn't getting saved where, but I have had success setting up my HDMI LCD TV only to have it return to a lower base setting on relog.  I have to assume something isn't being saved OR something needs to be "hand" written in a config somewhere.  I can get the LCD in to the right resolution, but now I have forgotten how I clean up the background and so far there has been no evidence my settings are getting saved.  Here is what it looks like after I use grandr to set the resolution to 1920x1080, note any apps I open are in the correct resolution and can move about the entire screen.

I view KDE like I view snow. It looks fun and marvelous, it's fun to play in, but after a while I just want someone to take it all away.

Re: [Resolved]lxrandr,grandr,etc., save config?

Another self resolution.  big_smile

I had to add a line in my autostart.sh (probably not the kosher way of doing it but it works, damn it!) like so:

xrandr --output DFP1 --mode 1920x1080

or if like me you want to disable the laptop/desktop monitor:

(sleep 5s && xrandr --output LCD --off) &
xrandr --output DFP1 --mode "1920x1080" &
