[ubuntu] 16.04 Metacity and monitor resolution and animation settings not saved

Upgrade from 14.04LTS to 16.04LTS with Metacity (not Unity) and my choices of 1024x768 resolution and no animation are not saved, after a reboot it defaults back to 1449x900 with toolbar selections being animated. I've a GTX640 graphics card on a desktop PC, Gnome Flashback and Metacity.

Changing the resolution in System Tools>System Settings>Screen Display it is not permanently saved neither if I use gnome-tweak-tool to change the resolution and select no animation.

I can change the resolution in NVIDIA X Server Settings but asks where the setting should be saved which I don't know.

Rather than perhaps adding a custom autostart file, there must surely be a simpler way.

Edit: etc/X11/xorg.conf has resolution as 1024x768 but this doesn't stop it defaulting back to 1449x900 after a reboot.

Let's block ads! (Why?)
