Hello. In Gentoox Home, is there a file equivalent to XF86Config that I can place Modeline commands (or equivalent) in for XFCE?
The XF86Config does exist, however making Modeline changes here does not have any effect.
I realize I can use xbvset, however I need finer control of the resolution changes.
Thanks
Manually change display resolution in xfce
Thanks.
Let me be a bit more specific:
I am using VGA with internal syncs. VGA is very stable and works fine in Xebian and I have full control of the resolutions with XF86Config.
When I run your xbvset there is no VGA choice. Therefore I choose X2VGA (I have tried them all just this one is most recent), 720p, 1024x768 (if I remember correctly). After reboot is does great, the mode is just as it is in XF86Config. Now I change that mode to something I want. Reboot. Xfce seems to default to some hard coded resolution of 1155x768 (not sure), definitely not what I asked for.
I can detail this exactly if you like. I just wanted to give you some more info while you were here (maybe).

Great! Everything matches.

It seems to get angry and default to some setting that I cannot find anywhere.
