Felix, I was not able to find out how to add a parameter during the boot process. I put the video=1920x1080@60 in the 'default' line, update-grub, update-grub2 and rebooted. There was no change. Followup for previous typo: While the shell command had the correct designation '1920', I found file names using '1960'. I changed all of them and rebooted, no change. Also have: ~/.config/autostart# cat lxrandr-autostart.desktop [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=LXRandR autostart Comment=Start xrandr with settings done in LXRandR Exec=sh -c 'xrandr --output eDP1 --mode 1920x1080' OnlyShowIn=LXDE During a Xfce session, I changed the DPI from 96 to 300 and did not observe any difference in the display. I am wondering if my expectations are misaligned. Reading Xfce 'How toos', I see many descriptions where people build a disktop widget to click to change settings as if they have not implemented an automated method - which I prefer.
