Screen Resoloution Changes

I just downloaded Salix OS, it's all working fine so far apart from one problem, when I turn on my computer, the screen resolution is set to maximum and I can hardly see any of the screen.

I change this by opening a terminal and typing xrandr -s 1024x768, which solves the problem, until I shutdown or restart the computer and it changes back to 1600x1600 again...

I checked in the Xfce 4 Settings Manager and the resolution is correct in there, Ive had a search and gather that this is a problem with Xorg, but I don't know how to fix it.

Sorry if that didn't make much sense, it's late and im tired but any help would be appreciated.

You can try to copy and paste this into your /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Code: Select all

Section "Screen"
   Identifier "Screen0"
   Device     "Card0"
   Monitor    "Monitor0"
   SubSection "Display"
      Viewport   0 0
      Modes   "1024x768"
      Depth     24
   EndSubSection
EndSection
You probably don't have a xorg.conf so you might have to create one, just put the above in it and it should work.

I have the same problem and it works for me.
