    Nvidia Xserver, changing resolution each time I boot.

    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:







    Any help really appreciated.

    This is what I get from the terminal when executing

    Code:
    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
