    Need help with Screen Reslution and brightness issues.

    OS: Linux Mint 7 latest update
    System:
    AMD Phenom II,955 3.2Ghz
    4Gb Gskill DDR3 1333mhz
    Foxconn ADA7-S
    GPU ATI 3300 integrated no over clock
    Drivers:
    ATi GPU driver up to date
    Other notes: setup with ps2 keyboard,laser mouse,and an VGA to Projector to 1024x768 monitor display setup.
    Problem: Upon boot I get the upper left portion of the desktop,without the taskbar,everything is dark on both the monitor and projector,it seems that the resolution is 1600x1200,the projector is setup to display at 1024x768,as is the monitor,I can easily fix this using display settings,but it does this on boot and is to be used by more than just me in an Church. So I need an fix for this to be permanent.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi and Welcome !

    Post the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    You have to set default resolution to 1024x768 in xorg.conf file and if that doesn't work, set console resolution to 1024x768 too.

    Add Display subsection in Screen Section
    Code:
    SubSection "Display"
		Depth		24
		Modes		"1024x768" 
	EndSubSection
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
