I'm using kdm for logon, and I would like to set the resolution right
when kdm starts. I found /usr/local/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc, but this
seems to be an example that is not really executed. Maybe I'll find
something in the docs for kdm (I have a faint remembrance that I knew
all these things some years ago, but I tend to forget things I do not
need frequently).

Hm, if this stuff finally works, I will have a try with 7.3 on my
notebook. I never got it to work properly with beamers so far, because
it always uses the display's resolution fot the external VGA port (and
most beamers do not handle 1600x1050 that well :-).
