Let's skip that methodology for now. Instead, ensure that ~/.screenlayout and any other Xorg config changes you put in $HOME do not exist (rename, move, etc.), then, save the following to /etc/X11/xorg.conf: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xorg.conf-ray and restart *dm or reboot, login, then report results. If you don't get what you expect or want, pastebin the resulting Xorg.0.log. > Is there a way to use /proc/cmdline to get the log on screen set to 1920x108? There's supposed to be for Intel (worksforme), but let's defer that until later too.... -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
