    how to force monitor resolution at startup

    Hi.

    I started using Ubuntu 11.04 today.
    Everything works fine with my monitor directly connected to the computer. I get a default screen resoluton of 1600 x 1280, which is just fine.

    However, when I connect the screen through a video splitter to be able to use a beamer, the screen resolution defaults to 1024x768. Moreover, Ubuntu then detects an unknown monitor.

    I recall that I have solved this problem before with an older version of Ubuntu.
    Now it seems that there is no xorg.conf anymore so I don't know what to do.

    How can I force Ubuntu 11.04 to start with a screen resololution of 1600 x 1280.

    I have the same problem using a KVM switch. Any advice is appreciated.

    Follow this sequel:

    It provides a solution that is (for me) satisfactory.
