For some reason that I haven't figured out yet, my screen estate is not used fully by Debian and I had some black bands around the edges of the WM. Reading around, I found a combination of gtf and xrandr with a rather painful way of discovering that my screen is 1366 x 652 in size.
xrandr --newmode "1360x652_60.00" 71.28 1360 1416 1560 1760 652 653 656 675 -HSync +Vsync xrandr --addmode Virtual1 1360x652_60.00 xrandr -s 1360x652_60.00 I plug this into a .xprofile and chmod +x it and reboot, my screen doesn't reset. if I manually execute .xprofile, the screen gets changed to what I want. Where do I start looking to fix this such that it gets set upon login into kdm? There is a .xsession-errors file but that didn't seem to have anything interesting. I used a live cd KDE install that is now upgraded to Jessie and so I boot into KDE desktop upon login. Appreciate some pointers to debug this. sivaram -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
