How to make scren resolution sticky?

English Applications
#1

I have chosen to use automatic login. But every now and then I am asked for username and password when the computer boots.

When I do get automatically login the screen resolution is changed to 800 x 600 instead of 1280 x 1024.

How do I get those two (resolution and log in) settings sticky?

Please post output of commands below, enter root password when asked for:


su -c 'cat /boot/grub/menu.lst'  (Not 1st, but lst !!!!)

rpm -qa | grep nvidia

rpm -qa | grep kernel-

I have a similar issue with my laptop (Intel video): autologin always works, but screen resolution is unpredictable. About 50% of the time it’s fine, but the other 50% of boots it comes up with the wrong resolution, which is usually cured by a quick CTRL-ALT-BSP (sometimes required twice).
Maybe xorg.conf still has its merits? Should I force it to write one with Sax2?
