keep screen res on boot “solved”

[Member wilky]

Hi folks I have an old acer ao532h note book that I have loaded Antix onto and am running an external monitor on because the note book screen is no good. Sort of using it as a desk top system, (external mouse and keyboard as well) my problem is that when it boots up the settings I have set for the monitor do not save.

I change the settings in control panel – session – set resolution etc. I deactivate the note book screen, make the external monitor the primary and set the resolution to 1440×900.

When I shut down the system and then reboot I have to go through the process with the monitors all over again and the task bar will be in the center of the monitor, Once I have changed the primary monitor settings I then have to change the resolution (it starts back up at 1440×900 but with the task bar in the center) to anything and then back to the 1440×900 and that puts the task bar back at the bottom and all is wonderful with world, until I reboot and have to do it all again. Any ideas will be gratefully accepted.
Cheers Wilky

When using arandr to set up your screen configuration, after applying, select to save the configuration.
Save it as “default.sh” inside the ~/.screenlayout/ folder (if one already exists, replace it). After that, antiX will auto-load the screen configuration next time you log in to your user account.
