AFAIK, xrandr setting should remain between boots. Are you using GNOME/KDE applet to set up the displays? :-? Anyway, I would read this doc: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 And remember that you can also instruct your system to use the desired xrandr stanza instead using a static xorg.conf configuration file: http://www.jejik.com/articles/2008/10/setting_up_dual_monitors_system-wide_with_xrandr_on_debian_lenny/ Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I'm not sure why it failed - seems correct, except 0622 is the correct permissions (use run-parts to test). Maybe, as you stated, xorg takes precedence. Format and scripting is described in XSessions man CUSTOMIZING THE STARTUP PROCEDURE section.

That's what counts. snipped I have to tell it to use nouveau somewhere? I don't know (sorry).

Mitchell Laks 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.

Thank you. I dont know why the directory file entry did not get used. maybe because i had another xorg.conf file it overrode that setting? I have to tell it to use nouveau somewhere?
