This command will need to be run after the 915resolution extension is loaded on every boot - either you can add it to /opt/bootlocal.sh (and make sure it is in your backup) or make your own customised 915resolution extension with the command in the startup script

I'm getting closer. If I load the 915resolution parameters I want in bootlocal, I end up with a screen with messed up colors and incorrect resolution. If I then do "ctrl-alt-backspace, I can't even see what I'm typing, but if I type "startx", I get my session started with proper colors and proper resolution! Any ideas what to do next?
thanks.
bbelden:
I think the 915resolution start up script, tce.installed/915resolution, which has the wrong resolution specified in it, is fighting with my 915resolution startup I have in bootlocal. Is there a way for me to modify tce.installed/915resolution startup script? I think it would work better than having 915resolution start in bootlocal.

The safest way for you to avoid the 915resolution startup script would be to have your own remastered 915resolution extension. You could try the following:
--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ tce-load -wi squashfs-tools-4.0 2> /dev/null

Or you could change the values in the start-up file to suit your situation, in which case you won't need an entry in '/opt/bootlocal.sh'). That is probably anyway the better option since I assume that your issue might be a race condition between the (asynchronous) execution of '/opt/bootlocal.sh' and the X server start.
bbelden:
Maro--Thanks for helping me. How do I change the /tce.installed/915resolution startup file. I have tried deleting it, modifying it and nothing sticks--when I reboot the old file with the incorrect parameters is back.
Thanks, I appreciate everyone's help--I am so close.
