To be fair, the last time I did was when I bought my current monitor, this year. 2560x1440, and only works properly when I log in so my X config loads.

I messed up some PAM config shortly after, and had to chroot to fix it - couldn't read a single letter I was typing (impossibly small and distorted for the number of pixels used to display them, character widths all over the place too) but manager to get it done, very carefully and slowly...

I probably should've made getting it working system wide a priority after that (maybe it's as simple as I used my user config rather than /etc, I can't remember) but I haven't. I suppose worst case I could use a different older monitor anyway.
