Thread: Preventing resolution changes when swapping monitor out

hello,

have following problem: have 2 computers connected same keyboard/mouse/monitor using kwm switch, on windows machine (mostly gaming) , other ubuntu (12.10) use web server , other applications.

had 1 problem, work around: when boot ubuntu machine, need have monitor set ubuntu server, otherwise, resolution used default vga 1 (instead of nice 1920x1200). can live (if have soution, though, i'm of course interested).

now, however, , no reason can fathom (unfortunately, might have automatic updates, missed), whenever switch monitor windows machine , ubuntu one, ubuntu has apparently detected monitor has disconnected , switches resolution vga. can change enough using settings (once detects monitor back, switches proper resolution), not annoying each time (i use kvm switch easily, not add additional trouble), screws virtual desktops , positioning of windows open on these desktops.

there way prevent resolution change happen ?

in advance answers,

philippe

p.s.: way, long i'm here asking question, there way save open applications (mostly firefox, terminal windows (with multiple tabs), file explorer, editor, etc.) pop supposed after reboot ?
