It's probably running
too early then. Thanks for understanding that hardware issues sometimes take some trial-and-error to work out.
Let's try moving the file and running it as a normal autostart program.
Please open a terminal and run these commands:In the below command, please replace
yourusername with your actual user name.# Copies file to your home directory autostartCode:
sudo cp /etc/uberstudent/adjustments/10-sis-xrandr-fix.execute /home/yourusername/.config/autostart/
# Removes the file you movedCode:
sudo rm /etc/uberstudent/adjustments/10-sis-xrandr-fix.execute
In the below command, please replace
both instances of
yourusername with your actual user name.# Makes the moved file owned by the userCode:
sudo chown yourusername /home/yourusername/.config/autostart/10-sis-xrandr-fix.execute
Now do:
# Makes the moved file executableCode:
chmod +x $HOME/.config/autostart/10-sis-xrandr-fix.execute
# Creates an empty .desktop fileCode:
touch $HOME/.config/autostart/sis-xrandr-fix.desktop
# Opens the empty .desktop file in leafpadCode:
leafpad $HOME/.config/autostart/sis-xrandr-fix.desktop
Now add the following in to the blank file that opens in leafpad,
making sure there is an empty blank line after Hidden=false (there should be a total of 10 lines to the file). Where
yourusername appears on the
Exec= line, again replace
yourusername with your actual user name.# Make the .desktop fileCode:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=SiS Xrandr Fix
Exec=/home/yourusername/.config/autostart/10-sis-xrandr-fix.execute
Icon=monitor
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Utility;
Hidden=false
Hit Ctrl+S to save, then exit leafpad. Now make the .desktop file executable by running:
Code:
chmod +x $HOME/.config/autostart/sis-xrandr-fix.desktop
You will now see a new entry,
SiS Xrandr Fix, if you go to Settings > Administration > Session and Startup > Application Autostart.
Reboot or just log out and log back in. Your login window may still be at the wrong display resolution but I suppose we will just live with that, assuming it is usable (and I am hoping it is but let me know if not).
Please confirm whether or not this fixes the issue!
