Changing display resolution permanently

[h4nnibal]

Hi,

I am right now working on a Meego board. The default resolution is 1024x600.

To fit the screen into the display, I usually scale it with this.

xrandr --output LVDS0 --scale 1.28x1.25

I want to remove the headache of setting this every time by setting it somewhere.

I tried the following

[1] adding it in .xinitrc

[2] added it in /etc/init.d/rc.local

[3] /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf 's boot command line

But in vain.

Any suggestions?

normally this should work by adding int .xinitrc, how did you add the
.xinitrc file, did u copy it from /etc/skel/xinitrc to your home
folder?
if not did u add exec before the command you have specified.

This should go after starting X server

I start my window manager with startx in .xinitrc and added a $ startx in my .profile. So, I will add this command just under the startx in .profile with may be a 2 second sleep.

Find what is starting your window manager and add a hook after that doing this. 

 

But in vain.

Any suggestions?

Hi,
  I have two similar configurations (single and dual monitor setups on my laptop). So, I used a very quick and dirty solution for this.
  Assuming that you use X-server only with a DE, you can add the same line to your DE's 'application autostart' or 'startup programs' list. I have both configurations in my startup list, but keep only one of them enabled as required.

No 

if not did u add exec before the command you have specified.

 My ~/.xinitrc looks like this.

<code>

#!/bin/bash

export DISPLAY=:0.0

sleep 10s

exec xrandr --output LVDS0 --scale 1.28x1.25

</code>

Wish I could do it. This issue is in my atom board(linux kernel 2.6.37.6-adaptation-oaktrail) with meego on it. The DE does not have things like crontab, upstart or autostart.

Do you have xdm?
See if the files described in this page applies to you:

Hi,

This problem was solved by recompiling the display driver for this board after changing it. :)
