Hi
I am using Porteus desktop edition.
I installed it to HDD using system setting - porteus installer.
my screen looks good in 1024 x 768.
But after each reboot, i have to manually set it back to 1024 x 768.
Can anyone help?

Re: Cannot save Screen resolution.
Your are in very good hands with fanthom.
However, you could try the xrandr method. In cli mode use xrandr to build the appropriate script depending on your porteus version:
1) From xrandr you will get the possible screen size available and the name of your display. This is for my laptop:
2) Put this information into a file with .sh ending to get your script with the appropriate permissin (execute).
3) Install this file into the appropriate autostart folder. For kde /root/.kde4/Autostart/, for xfce you have to go thru the settings submenu with **.
