Video Display/Resolution Issue part 2 :)

I have a similar issue to chris'.  So as to not be of thread hijacking, 
I've started a new one :)

Since we're on video / Lucid / K V M Switch stuff:

My system is connected to a digital keyboard/video/mouse switch as I run 
2 systems on dissimilar networks.  If I'm on the 'other' box when I boot 
my Lucid box, I get 640x480.  Simple workaround is log out and log back 
in, all good.  No resolution issues when I'm looking at Lucid when it boots.

I know that Lucid is doing runtime video config as opposed to using a 
static config file (old-school) and I assume that my resolution would be 
just fine if I had one (static config).

So question 1 becomes: is that true?  If I have a static X11 config file 
would that fix my problem.

If so, question 2 is: How would I go about finding out the runtime 
settings that I like so as to create one?


Thanks in advance,
-Ray
