I used to be able to set my X11 screen resolution on boot by putting
something like the file

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
SubSection "Display"
  Virtual 1600 900
EndSubSection
EndSection

in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf directory, but this doesn't work anymore.
I am running 7.7 stable on an X1 Carbon 5th gen laptop and this hasn't
worked for the last couple of releases.  Has something changed?

I can set the screen resolution later using xrandr in the .xsession
file:
xrandr --size 1600x900

The native resolution on this laptop is 1920x1080.
