I need to know if someone can tell me that will force X11 to default to a specific display mode (24 bit color w/ 1024x768 resolution) when it starts up. I am using an LCD display that is not very forgiving in other graphic video modes and for some reason, even though I have that listed as the only option in xorg.conf, it still switches to another video mode when it first starts up.
You *might* want to play with the DDC option in your xorg.conf, to stop it probing your hardware for settings, so it just uses what you, configure yourself.
e.g. Option "DDC" "off"
You can try reading the man files for your graphics chipset, e.g. "man i810" (substituting whatever yours actually is), but I've found that some of the options mentioned in these man files were completely ignored.
