Gnome Screen Resolution
Posted by satchmo on Thu 25 Aug 2005 at 10:13
I have a dual tft monitor setup on my Gnome box. Dual head is running perfectly, and XF86Config-4 is working well with resolution setup for 2x 1280x1024. However, when Gnome loads, it loads at a lower dual resolution, and i have to manually push it back up to 1280x1024. WHere is the resolution setting for Gnome stored?

What do you mean "Gnome loads at a lower resolution"?
Is X using the resolution you want?

X is set to load 1280x1024 with TwinView enabled:
Section "Device"
Identifier "nvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "TwinView"
Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024,1280x1024;1024x768,1024x768"
Option "HorizSync" "31-80"
Option "VertRefresh" "75"
Now, when Gnome loads it doesn't load at the highest possible resolution. it loads at 2048x1536 instead of 2560x2048
I hope that makes it a little bit clearer.

Did this get solved?
Was it "Desktop Preference">"Screen Resolution" (from memory)?

Nope it's still happening - I just try and not restart X or restart now. :-(
