Fwd: Forcing monitor resolutions

[jordipujolp at gmail.com (Jordi Pujol)]

Hello Kai and list, 

I did a version for this,
the rules from 
http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 section III.5
are not very severe, I have discarded all of them,

in my version the file xorg.conf is generated by nvidia-xconfig,
and the xrandr command is run when starting the X server.

Attached are the working files for xorg.conf and 21xvideomode.

That can require some more tests, initially works,

Regards,

Jordi Pujol
