Perhaps it's an X thing, plain and simple. My computer does the opposite. It opens in too high a resolution, so that the bottom of the screen is unseeable. So I created the following command, called xraa, to switch from 1920x1200 to 1920x1080: ============================================= #!/bin/bash sudo xrandr --output default --mode 1920x1080 ============================================= In my Openbox, Shift+Ctrl+Semicolon brings up dmenu, I type xraa, and bang, my resolution's right. Obviously, my visudo sets xrandr to run as root for slitt, no password. There's probably a "right" way to fix it, but I haven't found it yet, so I just work around the problem.
