boot - start up command



At start up I have to open terminal and put a command in to fix the screen resolution each time. Unfortunately other people who use this computer are struggling with this.



I tried to add it to /etc/rc.local by just coping the needed code to the bottom of the document, but with no joy. Maybe I need special formatting to make this work? Here is the code I need to auto execute at startup , thanks for any help. Using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS



cvt 1280 800 60   
xrandr --newmode "1280x800_60.00" 83.50 1280 1352 1480 1680 800 803 809 831 -hsync +vsync

xrandr --addmode VGA-0 1280x800_60.00


Did you tried to add it to your ~/.profile (in /home/< you username >/.profile) ?



It's better to create a startup task:
How to run scripts on start up?
