Thus 'startkde' would have to do it which IHMO never happened. With 'WINDOWMANAGER=startkde startx' the xinitrc scripts are run and the files in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ are run which I've verified on a TW 20160208 and a TW 20160318. Setting the video mode through a script in there also works. For KDE (like for most other desktop sessions) the setting is overridden after having been set by one of the xinit scripts by the desktop session which stores and restores the user preferred video mode (in most cases the native mode of the display). When looking through the messages 'startx' dumps to the console, you will also find this mentioned in there. This is the behaviour of a desktop *session* and has nothing to do with X. This behaviour is desired by most users and will likely not change. It should have worked on earlier TW versions the same way - in fact, I have verified this - if it hasn't for you, something else was broken which has gotten fixed in the mean time. In any case, let's reassign this to the KDE folks who may be able to give you more insight. I'm sure, however, that all other desktop sessions behave the same. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
