My computer always defaults to the 1280X1024 and it seems fuzzy to my eyes...I prefer the 1440X900 in the control center hardware tab and when it is applied, it will work for that one session but once I've logged out or shut down the machine and re-log on it goes back to the 1280X1024 every time. How can I configure this machine to accept the 1440X900 all the time?

In terminal what does
show? The mode marked with a star is the current mode. (when you change the resolution to 1440X900 in the control center hardware tab first).

The one marked with a plus is the preferred one. Most monitor report a preferred mode to the driver. And the server/driver will generally choose it by default.

You might have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf though Anti has told me the new AntiX does not use a xorg.conf anymore. See if you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf and post it's contents in next post also with xrandr terminal readout. I am not a expert with screen mods. Just a Plodder.

Guys should be awake tomorrow. I am up late.

After its been changed to 1440x9.......


Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1440 x 900, maximum 1440 x 1440
VGA-0 connected 1440x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 408mm x 255mm
1280x1024 60.0 +
1440x900 59.9*+
1280x960 60.0
1280x720 60.0
1024x768 70.1 66.0 60.0
800x600 60.3 56.2
640x480 66.7 59.9
720x400 70.1


As you can see the 1280x1024 is the preffered....hmm.

Its not that big of a deal but it is a pain to deal with each time I log on.

Thanks.

Do you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? Go ahead a post it's contents if present.
