Hi all!
Some time ago I posted a topic here about xvidtune. After restart PC the screen backs out of focus even if you configurated it on xvidtune.
The question was: How to make xvidtune settings be loaded on the next logon (after restart)?
Now I found the answer.
Follow this steps:
1- run xvidtune from a terminal
2- set your better screen configuration.
3- when ready press "show" button and it will output the configuration you choose at console. Mine was:

"800x600" 56.30 800 848 912 1096 600 601 604 631 +hsync +vsync

4- copy that line and open /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
(In this file "#" means comment.)
5- go to the section "Monitor" and paste the line you copied from console. Mine was like that:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "monitor1"
VendorName "Plug'n Play"
HorizSync 30-60
VertRefresh 50-120
ModeLine "800x600" 56.30 800 848 912 1048 600 601 604 631 +hsync
EndSection

Also you can configure it for other resolutions (eg. 1024x768).

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "monitor1"
VendorName "Plug'n Play"
HorizSync 30-60
VertRefresh 50-120
ModeLine "800x600" 56.30 800 848 912 1048 600 601 604 631 +hsync
ModeLine "1024x768" .... .... .... ....
EndSection
