Just for clarity, settings in that directory are applied to _all_ X
sessions on that machine?

2nd question, I tried creating a script, based on the example in the
referenced web page, and came up with this

----------

# 1024x768 59.92 Hz (CVT 0.79M3) hsync: 47.82 kHz; pclk: 63.50 MHz
xrandr --newmode  "1024x768_60.00"   63.50  1024 1072 1176 1328  768 771
775 798 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VBOX1 "1024x768_60.00"
xrandr -s 1024x768_60.00

---------

But I gte compaints about the 2nd line, when I run it. I looked at the man
page, and it says, that used in that format, thhe 1st argumment is an
"optput", What dose that mean, and how should I define it for the
application I am trying to set up?

Thanks for the prompt help on this!!
