I have one display only, but Linux (any, including CrunchBang) sees the two for some reason. ARandR names it VGA1 and LVDS1. Default is LVDS1 with resolution 1280x800, not more, but my display capable to 1600x900. I switched to VGA1 and chose 1600x900. Just in case LVDS1 disabled.  After next reboot I see... 1280x800. I'm spoiled by the comfort of Windows and "big" Linuces, so it was an unpleasant surprise for me. I'm used to the fact that contemporary software is reasonable enough to rescue people from the problems instead of adding new ones.

I thought that the profile should be saved, although software could understand that if I changed the default setting, then it should ask whether to reject new setting or keep it forever, as is done in Windows since time immemorial. Profile was saved as 1600x900.sh.

It did not help. I had to google. I believe that such an important part of the operating system must be licked to a mirror finish. If the user is forced to google - it means that something is amiss in the Danish kingdom. I found a tip (applies to other Linux distributions) to save the profile as default.sh (in , of course).

It did not help. After each reboot I run the program, open a file "default.sh" and press button "Apply". I really like your distributive, and I'm not going to give it up. This is the only problem that it created, but it is quite annoying. I even try to reboot more seldom. Fortunately, I have a fanless PC that I can leave on overnight. However, fixing software bugs by hardware is beyond good and evil.

I think, CrunchBang must check ~/.screenlayout on every boot and execute file named "default.sh" (or any name, if file is alone).

Thanks for attention.
