Persistent xorg.conf

[funky]

Hi, first of all I'm new to linux (and *nix in general, for that matter), so pardon my ignorance.

I've just installed wolvix to my usb pendrive, and it works beautifully. I have it set to save changes to a .xfs file, and I know this works since I changed passwords and created a new user, and these changes persisted after a reboot. Now, however, my monitor's resolution/refresh rate is not correctly detected and it looks pretty ugly. I managed to fix this by editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf and adding an appropriate Modeline, since xorgconfig would not suggest an appropriate resolution. This works nicely, but when I reboot, xorg.conf is reset and I have to redo it. Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks.

Hello funky.

You need to add the 'noxconf' cheat to the boot loader. Have a look in boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg on the USB. Then look for the APPEND line and add noxconf to it, like this:

Code:

APPEND changes=wolvixsave.xfs max_loop=255 initrd=/boot/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw vga=791 splash=silent noxconf

Hope that helps.

That worked, thanks a lot!
