Hey. I'm new to Ubuntu, just switched over from Slackware. Had problems with widescreen resolution so I used 915resolution to resolve that issue. Works like a champ. However, I'm unable to get it to work at startup. All the solutions I run accross suggest putting it in /etc/rc.local or /etc/init.d/rc.local. I did this and upon booting, the 915resolution does not hold. However, once I get to the logon screen, I can ctrl+alt+bkspce and when it comes back to me, the 915resolution is working just fine. I've been searching for a way to get the 915resolution to work upon first boot into x windows.

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

I dont think any logs or configs would be helpful, but I shall post any per request.

The part that has gotten me the most success is this snippet from my /etc/init.d/rc.local :

do_start() {
if [ -x /etc/rc.local ]; then
log_begin_msg "Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)"
/etc/rc.local
log_end_msg $?
/usr/sbin/915resolution 4d 1440 900
fi
}

It starts in /etc/ec2.d as S12915resolution
have you setup /etc/default/915resolution to the correct settings?

thanks for the response binary.

Everything in my /etc/default/915resolution is setup properly I do believe. It is a pretty straight forward config. I'll post the contents at the end of this message.
I also have the script listed in my /etc/rc2.d as S20915resolution.

Given that I have the rc.2.d and both /etc/rc.local and /etc/init.d/rc.local all setup to run this thing, I really have no idea what else to check :/


/etc/default/915resolution:
#
# 915resolution default
#
# find free modes by /usr/sbin/915resolution -l
# and set it to MODE
#
MODE=4d
#
# and set resolutions for the mode.
#
XRESO=1440
YRESO=900
#
# We can also set the pixel mode.
# Please note that this is optional,
# you can also leave this value blank.
