Nvidia Xserver, changing resolution each time I boot.

[gasto]

Hi there,

I start with the wrong resolution (Full HD I think), but I need it to be 1024x768

I am able to change it but in order to be permanent(each time I boot will have that resolution), the xconfig file must be updated but I can't:

Hi and are you using
gksu nvidia-settings

[gasto]

This is what I get from the terminal when executing


gksu nvidia-settings

And clicking on 'Save to X configuration file':



WARNING: No Layout specified, constructing implicit layout section using screen "Default Screen".



WARNING: Unable to find CorePointer in X configuration; attempting to add new CorePointer section.


WARNING: The CorePointer device was not specified explicitly in the layout; using the first mouse device.



WARNING: Unable to find CoreKeyboard in X configuration; attempting to add new CoreKeyboard section.


WARNING: The CoreKeyboard device was not specified explicitly in the layout; using the first keyboard device.

But when I click on 'Save' no error message is thrown. Hmmm... will reboot and see what happens...

You just opened nvidia settings as root and it allowed you to save the settings :)

Thanks again.
