I made shellscript /d/bats/xraa looking like the following: =================================================== #!/bin/bash sudo xrandr --output default --mode 1920x1080 =================================================== Obviously, I modified sudoers to let user slitt run xrandr as root without a password. Then I added /d/bats/xraa to my .xinitrc as follows: =================================================== /d/bats/xraa exec /home/slitt/dwm-6.0/dwm =================================================== Now X always comes up as 1920x1080. Crude, but effective.
