Re: How to set video resolution permanently in Fedora 22?

[Steven Usdansky <usdanskys@xxxxxxxxx>]

Back in the day, the following script resided in my ~/.config/autostart:
#!/bin/bash

# add a new mode using xrandr
# works with Lubuntu 14.04 on Pyrope

screen=$(xrandr | grep \ connected | awk '{print $1}')
xrandr --newmode 1680x1050 147.14  1680 1784 1968 2256  1050 1051 1054 1087  -HSync +Vsync
xrandr --addmode $screen 1680x1050
xrandr --output $screen --mode 1680x1050

Hi

I want my Fedora 22 box to run at a video resolution of 1680x1050.

I added and selected that resolution by doing:

$ xrandr --newmode "1680x1050_60.00"  146.25  1680 1784 1960 2240  1050 1053 1059 1089 -hsync +vsync
$ xrandr --addmode VGA-0 1680x1050_60.00
$ xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1680x1050_60.00

That worked, but when I reboot the resolution reverts to 1280x1024.

I tried creating file:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-monitor.conf

and putting in it:

Section "Monitor"
  Identifier  "VGA-0"
  Option      "PreferredMode" "1680x1050_60.00"
EndSection

but that had no effect (perhaps because the resolution was not found after the reboot).

How can I set the resolution to 1680x1050 permanently?

Best regards

David
