Hi all -
I am running a testing box. Recently, it seems, my X settings
changed (w/o my intentionally changing them, at least as far as I can
recall) so that the screen resolution on Gnome, for example, it was
defaulting to 1400x1050. It is nice to see that my older laptop can
handle this, but ... I also have older eyes and prefer a setting of
1024x768.
So I went looking into the xorg.conf file, and found that ... no default
screen res appeared to be set! In fact the file contains almost _no_
details and consists mainly of a lot of sections that look like this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
... making it look like a lot of the X configuration is handled
automatically.
Well, great ... cough ... I would rather it _wasn't_ handled
automatically, because I want to choose my own settings. I've handrolled
my own .conf files for X for ages ... is there any way for me to do this
and not have my settings overwritten by an automated thingum that has no
idea what my specific needs are?
If this is an attempt at an improvement I cannot say I care much for it.
Certainly I can change the settings via the Gnome GUI, but this doesn't
help me if (as often happens on my old machine) I'd rather just run
Fluxbox.
Sorry if this is an ignorant question and has been asked before. If I need
to RTFM, just let me know where to find the relevant M and I will RTF
thing.
Thx,
Glenn
