Ubuntu

Have been unable to find way to preserve screen resoloution setting benq E2200HD Monitor?

Asked by Ron B.

Have just installed a Benq E2200HD 22" Broadscreen Monitor. Have tried all the usual ways - incl. everything I could find with google to get a change in the screen resoloution (to the native 1920x1080 of the lcd screen-) to be maintained after a reboot/re- login etc.

Each and every time I start or re-login to the system I have to call up nvidia-settings to change the resoloution.
Have of course tried gksu nvidia-settings and saving the change etc - but none of this and all other methods found with google have worked.

This monitor is apparently not formally supported by ubuntu but I would still like a soloution for the problem.
There are only a few "Full HD" monitors with 22" and hdcp support so I assume a whole load of folks will be confronted with this problem?

I have also tried re-naming and re-locating the .nvidia-settings-rc and putting a command in /etc/rc-local for nvidia-settings to call up this config but this also did not do the trick?

Any ideas, or what about full support for this Monitor?

Have just got the soloution to this problem from a friendly user in irc freenode #ubuntu-de.
It just needed correcting the screen resoloution settings in the file ~/.config/monitor.xml

and that was it .. how this helps others <especially newbies/relative newbies like myself.>
