I'm trying to change my screen resolution at startup using xrandr.

Following this answer, I symlinked a script as /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45setoutput. Here's the content of script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
xrandr --newmode "1600x900" 118.25  1600 1696 1856 2112  900 903 908 934 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode eDP-1 "1600x900"
xrandr --output eDP-1 --mode "1600x900"

After login I see the screen flashing as if the script is running but then it shows the usual resolution. It's weird since when I run xrandr -q I do see 1600x900 as an available mode and if I run xrandr --output eDP-1 --mode "1600x900" it then works.

What happened when you ran the script interactively after login: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45setoutput? – ctrl-alt-delor Dec 05 '20 at 22:51
It just works as it's supposed to – seldon Dec 05 '20 at 23:00
Don't expect people to read the comments. Put edits in the question. – ctrl-alt-delor Dec 05 '20 at 23:07
