LXDE doesn't keep my resolution I selected [SOLVED]

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....

Re: LXDE doesn't keep my resolution I selected [SOLVED]

@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

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
