Marko:
I captured the output of both /var/log/Xorg.0.log and xrandr when
booting up with the KVM pointed to the machine ("*__FOCUS") and pointed
to another machine (actually, a turned-off machine) ("*__NO_FOCUS)
Pretty clear to me that its doing a "default" lower res setting if it
doesn't see the monitor during the boot.
I read the xrandr and "think" that what I want to do is (based on the
example "Forces to use a 1024x768 mode on an output called VGA ..."):
xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --mode 1680x1050
If presume that this stays with the machine and is not session based
(don't know where the info goes, don't know if I care).
I wanted to check to see if I am understanding xrandr correctly and if
all I need is this one command since it already knows about DVD-I-1 and
the 1680x1050 resolution.
My other question is I noticed that I seem to be hooked up so my single
monitor is coming out of DVI-I-1 and not DVD-I-0. Haven't had any
problems with such, so I am assuming either DVI can be used if there is
only one monitor. But I thought I would ask in case there is something I
don't know about the system which would want me to move to DVI-I-0.
Thanks in advance,
Paul
