Glad you sorted it, although I question why you would want both 16 and 24-bit depths, but your system, your rules. I will note that I always put conf files into the xorg.conf.d directory which xorg-server creates (in /usr). But for forcing _one_ preferred screen size I use xrandr to see what the available output name(s) is/are, and then put a line like this in my .xinitrc : xrandr --output Virtual-0 --mode 1280x800 That is for qemu with -vga std, the names differ depending on which video driver is in use. Of course, that won't help if you really do need to sometimes use smaller screen sizes. ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early. After all, she was an old lady.
