<div dir="auto">Hi Byron,<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Thanks for your response.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">That's the gist of 99% of Google hits too, but it's not my problem. When I open a terminal, the monitor changes to 1680x1050 and the 80x25 console window is a (relatively large) item on the monitor. The monitor should stay at 4k resolution and show a little console window somewhere onscreen. Where is the setting that needlessly and unwantedly changes the monitor resolution? Is it perhaps a named resolution, that I can't grep '1680'?</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Cheers</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Kevin</div><div dir="auto">.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 8 Sep. 2017 11:34, "byron ester" <<a href="mailto:byronester@gmail.com">byronester@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br type="attribution"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Gnome Terminal and xterm work in columns and rows, not necessarily screen resolution.<div>That's why you can't find the setting for it in your config files.</div><div>1680 is the screen res.
