How can one safe a Xorg Configuration ?  After each X logout , I need to reconfigure my Lxrandr
(Which is working now !! :D ) . I'm on cooking version

@ms3811

How slitaz autostarts Xorg on boot:

/etc/init.d/rcS->slim->xorg->openbox-session

/var/log/boot.log -> Starting slim login manager: Slim... [ OK ]

Log on as root and type slim instead of startx followed by enter.

If slim starts add it /etc/rcS RUN_DAEMONS=   after dbus/hald

If slim fails to start post the errors  

@moulefrite

Set lxrandr to your liking, open xterm

xrandr -q

The current configuration is with the + to the right

Now add to bottom of ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh

For example if I add to /home/tux/.config/openbox/autostart.sh:

xrandr -s 1280x800

Then after slim login for tux openbox-session screen size is set to 1280x800

There are many options for xrandr:

xrandr --help

I prefer add Modes to xorg.conf because it's global and set's the display manager login screen to the desired resolution.

Hi mojo,

Yep it works .. I put this at the bottom of the file

xrandr --output LVDS1 --off
xrandr -s 1920x1080

but if you set the option " Manage the desktop and set the icons"
(to have a wallpaper) then you will have a kind of "composite"
desktop with a sort of patchworked wallpapers .
So I needed to disabled this option ... but I won't .
I want wallpaper :(

How can I add some resolutions to Xorg ?  
I did the X -configure  and recuperate the xorg.conf.new
and put it content to /etc/X11/xorg.conf   .. whatever ..
there are nothing which looks like a screen resolution and it change strictly nothing as at each logout X
800x600 appears (as I said up).

thx

@moulefrite, to configure xorg resolution you can edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-Screen.conf (if you have it, else /etc/X11/xorg.conf) and go to the section "Screen", scroll down to the SubSection where it says Depth 24 and add the line

Modes    "1024x768" 

below Depth. The SubSection should then look like this:

SubSection "Display"
      Viewport      0 0
      Depth          24
      Modes         "1024x768"
EndSubSection

You can replace 1024x768 with whatever your correct resolution is. For more details, look up the Documentation link on this forum, there is a guide to configure xorg.

@mojo, thanks for the response. Slim is setup to load in rcS.conf, however it doesn't. I tried manually typing in slim at the command prompt, right after boot, no luck. No error message, nothing, simply returns to the prompt.

I am running kernel .37, do you think the upgrade could have broken it? Are there any logs for slim that I can check? Thanks for the help.

Move the existing /var/log/slim.log to ~/
As root attempt to start slim:
/etc/init.d/slim start
Attach the new slim.log to your reply.

Actually, I ended up reinstalling and this time slim started loading correclty, but I had a different problem. The keyboard and mouse would freeze when xorg loaded. Turned out xorg-xf86-input-evdev was missing -- not sure why, since this was a stable intall, then upgraded to cooking -- once I installed that, the problem went away.

Thanks for the help.

Ps: I think the mistake I was making earlier was that I was typing just slim at the prompt, instead of slim start.

mojo, you are nice guy .  But now , is there a way I can switch off automaticaly my netbOok screen  by editing Xorg ? Or do I have to do it with Xrandr in /.config/openbox/autostart.sh ?

Without a config file computer screen should turn off after 10 minutes.

If not you must install the xorg-xf86-video driver specific to your graphics chip.
My laptop with intel graphics chip the vesa driver would not shutoff the screen.
Had to install xorg-xf86-video-intel.tazpkg for screen to blank.
On my nvidia desktop the vesa driver shutoff the screen.

DPMS screen configuration:
Make file named 01-dpms-blank-conf
Paste this:

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "BlankTime" "5"
Option "StandbyTime" "5"
Option "SuspendTime" "5"
Option "OffTime" "5"
EndSection

This would turn off screen after 5 minutes.
Move file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

DPMS screen blanking can also be controlled with a utility called xorg-xset

Slitaz 3 stable xvesa with xorg-xf86-video-intel.tazpkg

My screen never shuts off and there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d.

How can I get the screen to shut off on idle?

Thank you

Options are passed as arguments to Xvesa

See options:

Xvesa -h

Slim display manager starts Xvesa with options configured in /etc/slim.conf -> xserver_arguments

On my hardware which is ati mach64 graphics with 19" Dell LCD

Screen turns off after default 10 minutes:    dpms

Screen turns off after X  minutes:               dpms v -s X

Example:
Screen turns off after 4 minutes:                dpms v -s 4

I tried dpms, v, -h and -s before,  The default live cd screen shuts off after 10 minutes.  On my hd installation, however, I noticed today that the arguments line was commented out but uncommenting it did not fix the problem and now prevents the gui login.  What other program or setting would break the original screen timer like that?

Thank you

It works now after changing slim.conf default_xserver from Xorg to Xvesa in addition to uncommenting xserver_arguments.

I do not know why xorg replaced xvesa or why xorg broke user settings for the screen timer.
