Setting the xrandr setting permanently
 

Hi there,

I'm in the final stages of configuring my X server.

I want to set the xrandr settings in my /etc/X11/xorf.conf file to number 4.

I can do this manually by using

# xrandr -s 4

But i'd like to set this permanently within the X configuration.

How do I do that ?? I can't find any clear reference so far to this.

I believe this part should be enabled in xorg.conf, but how do I select option number 4 ?

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "RandR" "On"
EndSection


[root@blahblah ~]# xrandr -q

Thanks !

PS I can post my entire X config, but I don't think it's necessary.

well you wouldn't select "4" as "4" is just an arbitrary enumeration that xrandr provides. open /etc/X11/xorg.conf find the screen section, find the display subsection relevant to your chosen colordepth and just move your preferred resolution to be the first in the list. e.g. here it's first come first served, so by default i'll get 1280x1024, followed by 1024....yada yada yada

That worked, thanks !!
