Yes, thanks, Dan. The issue now is a way to make the xrandr
adjustments permanent. The entry to .xprofile did not work. Also not
in .profile. I do get noticeable results now using this in xorg.conf
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "LVDS-1"
Modeline "1440x900" 106.47 1440 1520 1672 1904 900 901 904 932
EndSection
It looks like it is making two attempts, both of which fail. Debian
has marked the file as read only, so I am pretty sure it is not being
ignored.
My feeling is that something is missing. Suggestions?
