i use TOSHIBA R100 latop to run it. i change the resolution to 1024 by altering the Xorg.conf. But when i restart my laptop all the modified xorg file just restore to the original one which makes the resolution bback to 800 And also all the changes i made and save at the saveslax.dat file restore as the xorg file do.
i see some one say pres "tab"at the begining pic during the power on process to access into the line:changes=.... then i can save the direction of the saveslax.dat ,but i press from the very begining til i see the DEsktop no "changes=.." appear
i used the same way as the reference you gave me to directly change the slax.cfg but i found several independent changes which includes the last changes i made b4 but it seems everytime i restart it will write in a new one following is what my slax.cfg file conten

Normally Slax saves all changes

1.modify slax.cfg file as above. which i'm not very sure which line should i alter. iboot slax from harddisk and i wanna save changes to the slax. And there are several options in slax.cfg like fresh,cp2ram,startx.xconf. btw my slax boot initial file autoexec=xconf;starts,kdm if i delete the "xconf" i can't get boot ,and turn blackscreen instead.(but the back light is on)
2.creat xorg-fix.lzm and cp it to /mnt/hda1/slax/modules and i notice everytime when i boot slax the info tells that i both mount "xorg-fix.lzm" and "xconf" whould it effect?

Sosoul24 --- you must avoid running xconf [which is part of the autoexec command in that first slax menu choice]; that is what is messing up your saved xorg.conf. It is run long after your saved version is restored, upon which it overwrites it with whatever fanciful rez it thinks your hardware will do.

i try but if i delete the "xconf" from the begining menu autoexec=xconf;startx;kdm the loading process will get stuck and turn into blackscreen while with backlight on.
i dont know which specific autoexec=??? you ask me to modify so i simply edit all the commands that include "autoexec=???"into"autoexec=cp~/usr/share/slax/xorg.conf~/etc/X11/xorg.conf;telinit~4"
and it doesn't work
BTW i can't reboot or shutdown or poweroff properly everytime i type each commands of above the system wil firstly popup with massege that tell the action is processing and then followed by stuck there so i basically have to end up with brutal poweroff if you know what i mean i don't know wether is this lead to the problem
here is what i do i learn lot from all of your help and i follow markds' tip edit the begining menu slax , put in "autoexec=cp~/usr/share/slax/xorg.conf~/etc/X11/xorg.conf;telinit~4" it works!
i dont know if i can properly reboot now cuz i'd rather try it after a while, i've already kill my laptop million times in 2 days
