What's the track to getting LXDE to keep the resolution specified in Preferences>Monitor Settings? Now that /etc/X11/xorg.conf is deprecated (would have done with with a modline). I'm outputting to an SDTV and it keeps defaulting to 1024x768 but I want to force 800x600. Using the nvidia driver if that matters.

Possibly check xorg.conf.d ... take a look at any monitor settings there....

@MrG - I looked but I don't have any monitor settings... I created an "old" /etc/X11/xorg.conf that is working, but I'd like to learn what the modern way to this might be!
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "TwinView" "0"
Option "metamodes" "800x600 +0+0"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection

xrandr. For more info,
man xrandr
Also search the forums for some of my posts.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

should work if you put that in a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
e.g. /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf
