[SOLVED]Resolution changes every session.

Hi,
I've just bought a new computer, intel pentium g620 (sandy bridge) with HD3000 graphics, plugged in to a really bad TV (Telefunken TLFK 22LEDPVR), actually it looks worst than my old computer, with SiS integrated and a 15" monitor.
The point is that every time I switch it on or every time I start X server resolution is set to 1024x768, and maximum resolution for the screen is 1920x1200 (specified on the TV instructions). I'm using openbox, and I've already wrote this resolution in xorg.conf, but it doesn't do anything. I post here my xorg.conf so maybe you can help me:

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier     "X.org Configured"
	Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
	InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"

EndSection

EndSection

	Load  "extmod"
	Load  "glx"
	Load  "dri2"

	SubSection "Display"

		Modes	"1920x1200" "1920x1080" "1680x1050" "1600x1200"
	EndSubSection
EndSection

All of these resolutions are specified on the TV instructions.
Thank you.

Re: [SOLVED]Resolution changes every session.

It could be that the configuration for some DE specific randr client is messing it up. You would be able to override this with "xrandr --output FOO --mode 1920x1200" Is X choosing 24bpp or something else? You can set this with "DefaultDepth 24". Also, code tags would be great .

Great things come in tar.xz packages.

Re: [SOLVED]Resolution changes every session.

Thanks for your answer. I'm using openbox, so I don't use anything but xrandr (I change resolution manually every time...). Where should I set 24 as default?

Re: [SOLVED]Resolution changes every session.

I've solved it adding this lines to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf:
Section "Monitor"
   Identifier      "VGA1"
   Modeline "1920x1200"  193.25  1920 2056 2256 2592  1200 1203 1209 1245 -hsync +vsync
   Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1200"
EndSection
Thank you.
