Save KDE resolution

Post#1 by colchaodemola » 29 Nov 2011, 01:36

I am using porteus for a while and i am now using with changes=/dev/mydisks, most changes are being saved, but kde resolution is never saved.
I have an EEEPC 900 plugged to a HDTV 27'' LED DISPLAY. Everytime i start porteus i get a 800x600 clone in both monitors, so i enter in kde control panel and disable the EEEPC monitor , and set the LED DISPLAY to 1920x1080, greaT ! but this resolution is never saved.

Any ideas ?

After you set the new resolution, make a module with the change:
#cd /mnt/live/memory
#dir2xzm changes myresolution.xzm

Move myresolution.xzm to modules; the next start will be correct.

Welcome!

Try removing 'xconf;' from your boot commands, so the autoexec portion reads 'autoexec=telinit~4'. Your changes are getting undone by xconf, which doesn't seem to be autoconfiguring your resolution properly.
Please take a look at our online documentation, here. Suggestions are welcome!

I do not use xconf on my boot parameters , i just use telinit~4.

Even without rebooting , if i just logout and login again the resolution is not saved. Always starts in both monitors at 800x600

@colchaodemola
launch 'krandrtray' utility (if you have kde module activated) and set the resolution separately for laptop and TV.
they should persist between reboots - didn't check myself so can be wrong.
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.

not sure about KDE-3 but KDE-4 has "Save as default" button in krandrtray settings window.
try that.

My suggestion would be to setup your resolution in your xorg.cong file, and then edit the file /etc/X11/gui.conf so that it has the line:

SKIP_XCONF=yes

This will ensure that xconf leaves your xorg file alone. Are you using one of the ATI or NVIDIA modules?
