    Hi

    I've connected my AA0 to an LCD TV via VGA. I've used XRandR to set the resolution to 800x600 for it. How do I set xrandr to default to 800x600? This is the maximum for the hardware I'm using.
    Also does anyone know of any way I could preserve the widescreen ratio on the LCD tv? maybe use some different resolution, more like anamorphic widescreen? Many thanks for any help, i've been battling with xrandr for ages now!

    I've defined a shortcut key to run this command:

    xrandr --output VGA --mode 800x600 --output LVDS --off

    which helps but would still prefer to use FN+F5
