Hi,
yes I use that to reset the screen resolution.  It is supposed to save
it to the X configuration file after I apply a particular screen
resolution.  But it doesn't do it.  On each subsequent startup it
autodetects the screen resolution and sets it to the screen's native
resolution.  I have poked around in the /etc/x.---- files trying to
find where the default screen resolution is saved so I can change it
to what I want, but without success.
