Description of problem:

915resolution-0.5.3: i can not set screen resolution 1280X800 to be
the default resolution after startup, utilizing the GNOME System Preferences for
setting startup programms of the user

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:

1. I open Desktob System - Preferences - More Preferences - Sessions - 'Startup
Programs' tab
2. I add the following command using the 'Add' button - 915resolution 38 1280 800
3. i restart the PC and log with the same user of previous session, but
resolution is not set
  
Actual results:

after restarting PC, the resolution is not set to 1280X800,
but i have to restart the x window by Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to get the resolution set!

Expected results:

it is expected that screen resolution 1280X800 is set automatically when the
machine is started later - with the same user account

Additional info:

Comment 1 Chris Weyl 2007-10-11 05:44:36 UTC
915resolution requires root privs to run, and as a result this is expected.  It
is recommended to run 915resolution at system startup; this usage is
unsupported.  Running 915resolution _after_ XWindows has started will not modify
the BIOS before the driver reads it.
