[Solved] Saving screen resolution

I have a new installation of Slackel on a Starlabs Starlite laptop. Slackel has recognised all my hardware and I am very impressed with it.

However, I can't get my chosen screen resolution of 1680 x 1050 to survive a reboot even though I am saving it in lxrandr. I have searched for a resolution (!) to this problem and am unable to find one.

Is anyone able to help me on this please?

Thank you!

Code: Select all

sudo geany /etc/profile
add this line at the end of the file

Code: Select all

xrandr -s 1680x1050
save the file
Then log out and log in
and also do a reboot to test it.

Thank you very much, that works a treat.

I knew the solution would be simple, but couldn't find any reliable info in my searches.

I appreciate all the work you put into this distro!
