- Can't get my display to stay at 1024x768
Did nothing but at install time, do F3 at 1024x768... still sticking.
I don't think you ever explained your rationale for running 1024x768 on a native 1280x1024 display. If all you want is for everything to be bigger, forcing DPI (at the system level, via /etc/X11/xorg.conf*, not via your display manager's desktop preferences) can do and often does a more thorough and higher quality job of it.
Forcing DPI amounts to a zoom control that retains the pixel precision of the display's native/preferred mode, and in the 1280x1024 vs. 1024x768 case, retains correct aspect ratio so that images are not materially distorted. http://fm.no-ip.com/PC/aspect.html It's very simple - I, permanently, don't want to see - everything - that small. I like 1024 x 768.
As far as aspect goes - nothing is distorted ! And, as for as the xorg.config, it's - NOT - in control: dahechler:~ # cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-screen.conf # Having multiple "Screen" sections is known to be problematic.
