I try the same with a livecd(linux) and I don't get a HorizSync or VertRefresh settings either :( bash-4.1# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep "Monitor" Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "Monitor Model" Monitor "Monitor0" # xrandr -q returns bash-4.1# xrandr -q Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1360 x 768, maximum 4096 x 4096 VGA-1 connected 1360x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 930mm x 523mm 1360x768 60.0*+ 59.8 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 640x480 60.0 I am looking to try a magical command sort of like xrandr 1360x768 ..... after logging in and then startx, after successfull, the command will be added to .bash_login which starts X automagicallly as configured before. Thanks Warren for helping me out. But my experiences with xrandr are limited. I knew how to troubleshoot with HorizSync and VertRefresh and add them to xorg.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but I don't appear to get any :( Regards, Antonio
