Custom (non-native) screen resolutions not persisted across reboots

[kallaip]

Screen resolution can be set in Preferences -> Screen settings, but it is not stored automatically and the screen resolution is not restored after reboot

Test environment> Virtualbox 6.1.16

Hello @kallaip possibly this is related to our use of initgfx which is supposed to auto-configure Xorg to the native resolution of the screen.

It would be interesting to see whether you get the same behavior on NomadBSD, from which we have adopted it.

Food for thought?

I do not know how to persist (non-native) screen resolutions.
