Keeping a 1920 by 1080 resolution

[dixonpete]

I recently did a reinstall of an updated PCLOS 32-bit and things were easy to set to my liking except for the fact that the system won't keep a 1920/1080 resolution through a reboot. It goes to 1400/1050 no matter how I try to save 1920/1080 as my default. Curiously it does say (Auto) beside the 1920/1090 setting but it isn't choosing that. There's no issue setting it manually but it's a chore.

If the LCD isn't turned on there always has been an issue but I am turning the LCD on first. This did work previously so I'm curious what's up.

I just upgraded to the 3.2 kernel - no effect, same issue.

A possible fix here:

When you into the Configure your Desktop -> Display and Monitor. Is the 1366x768 resolution available to you?

If not then you might try this.

Open the Configure your Computer
Configure Video
Set your resolution to 1366x768
Save and exit.

Open a terminal console
su to root
type chattr +i /etc/X11/xorg.conf

This will prevent xorg.conf from being able to be modified.

To reverse the above setting:

chattr -i /etc/X11/xorg.conf
