comment Force startx to run X in a specific resolution and refresh Rate
I think just appending the line 'xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768_60' into ~/.xinitrc ought to do it.

This makes it not update itself, but the GUI will still be popping up if anything else causes an update (e.g. like manually running apt-get update.)

See also related question askubuntu.com/questions/82681/… for quelling the update notices in general, not only upgrades.

There is, but this isn't the place to post it. There's a plethora of troubleshooting documents on how to solve X crash and GPU freeze issues.

Not sure this can be done with startx itself, but you can probably set up the appropriate xrandr command in an .xinitrc to do it.

comment How do I sudo a command in a script without being asked for a password?
-1 If this seems like a good idea, you'd be way better off just set a password on your root account and use z7sg's solution; that's just as easy, and doesn't create this very dangerous security issue.
