If you select a configuration with xrandr, it should be stored such that when you login, the settings are re-applied. The existing xrandr screen resolution applet does this today through gnome-settings-daemon. If I open that applet, I would expect to be able to set up screens how I like, and then every single time I login ever-after, the screens will be set up that way. I do not expect this to change any other user's setting; their screens should stay set up the way *they* like them. The only additional option then becomes making my settings the default for other users who haven't expressed a preference (ie. gdm's settings). This should be a locked option unless I've authenticated as an admin (cf. PolicyKit), and should change the settings of the gdm user so that gdm's gnome-settings-daemon applies them when it starts. (Longer-term, this preference would also be used for the initial mode setting by the kernel.) Scott -- Scott James Remnant [EMAIL PROTECTED]
