[SOLVED] persistent USB doesn't keep screenresolution after REBOOT

[wiko]

my monitor is 1280x1024, but after a reboot the desktop is reset to 1024*768.
then I have to go to the cc and configure the video card again (monitor and card to 1280x1024), after which I have to REBOOT again as instructed. (if I start the Live-CD, the screen always comes up OK)

this happens after EVERY REBOOT, so it is very timeconsuming!

what's wrong here, can this be avoided?

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

thx,

the proof will be on the next REBOOT (the command didn't return anything, so probably OK).
