screen resolution issues
Posted: Fri Oct 02, 2009 8:54 am
Just loaded Mint 7 XFCE on my *old* machine. I've had trouble with screen resolution under XFCE whereby I keep having to change the display resolution every time I boot up.
Menu > Settings > Display always defaults back to 1152x864 when what I'd really like is 1280x1024.
SO I set it to 1280x1024 each time I log in. It works, I log out (with the "save session for future logins" checkbox checked - really don't know if this is relevant) and sure as anything, next time I log in I have the resolution back at 1152x864
Now, I ought to mention that I did have to edit and inserted the following to get 1280x1024 appear in the Display list:
inside the Section "Monitor" part.
Anyone have any ideas how I can get XFCE to remember that I want a 1280x1024 resolution and NOT keep reverting to 1152x864??
