I just placed a script in .config/autostart " xrandr --output VGA-0 --off --output TV-0 --off --output HDMI-0 --primary --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal "
This was generated by Arandr which was suggested by someone in the IRC. That failed to work. Then I tried the same in a folder called .screenlayout. That also failed. I tried to have it called from the "Startup Applications" , but that seems to also be broken (bug report to follow on this), Startup Applications does not save anything that is added after a reboot. The only thing that is showing there is Nvidia X Server settings. As stated earlier this was not an issue with 14.04 LTS. Three weeks later I am still dealing with this screen resolution issue to the point that I lost track of all the things that were suggested and from outdated posts. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1615864 Title: Screen resolution not saved after reboot or logout and back in Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hello, I am having an issue with my screen resolution of 1920x1080. I am using a Vizio 42 inch TV which worked fine with the HDMI connection from the computer to the TV. Every time I boot the computer up I have to go into terminal and type " xrandr -s 1920x1080 " One of the first things I did was go to the System Settings > Software & Updates > Additional Drivers and then select Nividia 304.131 (proprietary,tested). I do this since when Nouveau was first introduced, it never worked with my graphics chipset which is a Nividia 7050. Yes, the chipset is old but worked fine until 16.04. I spent the weekend trying all suggestions that I could find via the search engines along with the help of a few folks on the #ubuntu IRC. Three days later, still no luck and still having to type the xrandr line in the terminal. I even tried adding the xrandr line in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, That was a disaster at bootup. luckily I was able to get to the terminal and Nano edit the file and reboot. In addition, probably unrelated to this issue, I have also noticed when running any streaming video, now it is almost like watching a slide show. Nothing has changed Internet connection or hardware since the install of 16.04. Even typing this is lagged by 1 to 3 seconds per character typed. Same issue in Firefox or Chrome. But sorry, I digress. This can be looked at in another post, forum or possible bug. The main issue is that Ubuntu 16.04 does not save and or reads the saved settings of 1920x1080 with out the later use via the terminal using xrandr. I did take notice that when booting into the main desktop the mouse pointer is small as if in 1920x1080 but then changes to a larger pointer then the resolution is then 1280x720 which seems to what 16.04 falls back to. The TV reports the proper information under xrandr. gee@HTPC:~$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 4096 x 4096 VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) TV-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-0 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 980mm x 580mm 1280x720 60.00 + 59.94 1920x1080 59.94 59.94* 60.05 60.00 50.04 720x576 50.00 50.08 720x480 59.94 640x480 59.93 gee@HTPC:~$ uname-a Linux HTPC 4.4.0-34-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 27 16:06:39 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux This will be the only information I will post this way since it was quite short.
