Monitor configuration tool won't save changes

[punchy71]

Hi,
I am running the Fluxbox edition and I'm trying to change my screen resolution but everytime I do, whenever I reboot, it switches back to its old resolution again. There is no option to save my switches. Example: I switch the screen resolution from it's default value of 1680 x 1050 (everything is way too small) to 1024 x 768 (much better) and then click on "ok". It makes the change. I reboot. It's back to 1680 x 1050 again. There is no "save" option in the dialog box. Your only options are "about", "ok" or "cancel". If you click on "about", it says it is "LXRandR 0.1.1 Monitor Configuration tool for LXDE". Hmm, it's for LXDE even though I'm using Fluxbox?!

Thank you

You probably need to put a line in your .xinitrc. This is a file that is read before Fluxbox starts up.

Please post the output of

Code: Select all

$xrandr

(That is, open a terminal, type 'xrandr', and copy and paste the output here.)

Mine looks like this:

Code: Select all
