[OCLUG-Tech] Anyone use thinstation and/or xrandr

Good Day all

I am trying to set up a PXE client for a VDI project.  We are using the ThinStation developer tool.  I very nice tool that builds a very stripped down Linux system (less than 1 minute to boot from PXE which is great).

Problem is this:

It is using xrandr to set up the X-Windows (or I assume since it is all the graphics setup) but does not see Display Ports properly.  When we boot the machine we get video and everything is great, but if you turn off the screen, or it goes into suspend mode, or unplug the cable etc, when you turn it back on, or plug it back in, no video.  The system seems to be working fine otherwise just no video out.

I have tried adding to the configuration file XRANDR_OPTIONS="-addmode DSP-0 1680x1050_60.00" without success.

Google has been unhelpful, so if anyone has hands on with this sort of thing I would appreciate a nudge in the right direction.
