Hi all;

I want to run an xrandr command at startup.

I Tried these solutions with no luck:

1) added command it to /etc/rc.d/rc.local (as a script with #!/bin/bash as the first line)
    created a soft link from /etc/rc.d/rc.local to /etc/rc.local
    systemctl start rc-local.service

2) added command to /etc/kde/kdm/Xsetup
    chmod a+x /etc/kde/kdm/Xsetup


Neither of the above solutions work


I'm running Fedora 21, KDE spin (64bit)

Thanks in advance for any help...

Update:

I've tweaked my /etc/kde/kdm/Xsetup file to look like this:

#!/bin/sh

/bin/xrandr --newmode "1280x800_60.00"  83.50  1280 1352 1480 1680  800 803 809 831 -hsync +vsync

/bin/xrandr --addmode eDP1 "1280x800_60.00"

/bin/xrandr -s 1280x800

/bin/xrandr --output eDP1 --panning 1280x800 --scale 0.633x0.633

If I login with this the screen is not right, cut off at the sides. If I then login and run the /etc/kde/kdm/Xsetup file as a script then the screen gets set correctly

Thoughts?

Thanks again in advance
