startx - resolution problem


Hi, when i type "startx" and then the KDE begin to start,
the screen resolution is very big(1600x200 or even bigger) but after 2-3 seconds it becomes into normal resolution(1024x768) which i am set in desktop configuration. I have installed nvidia drivers.

How to do that when i type startx the resolution will be 1024x768 all the time?

hi there,

you can edit the file " /etc/X11/xorg.conf "

there's a part starting with " Section Screen "
that has subsections "Display"

there might be more than one.

here's mine.
-----------------
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1152x864"
EndSubSection
------------------

you can set the resolution(s) behind the "mode " tag.
as you see, i use only one resolution.

change yours to your needs and stop & restart X.
that should do it.
