I don't know the answer to your specific question, but... If you're running KDE you can set the default with KRandRTray which will create ~/.kde/share/config/krandrrc containing:- [Display] ApplyOnStartup=true StartupCommands=xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --mode 1920x1200 --pos 0x0 --output DVI-I-2 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1920x0 It'll also creat the appropriate [screen_0] and [screen_1] entries. I'd be surprised if GNOME and other DE's didn't have a similar tool. If running GNOME put your settings in:- /etc/gdm/Init/Default (check that - I haven't run GNOME for years) below the $IFS line - see man xrandr and your search engine for syntax. A non-DE way of achieving the same thing is to create:- /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45custom_xrandr-settings and put your settings there Cheers -- "People say, “Don’t be hard on the New Kids [on the Block], Bill.
