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.

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

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.

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?

No , i am using a EEEPC 900 with intel card.
I will try to look how to setup xorg for dual monitors in intel card.
