Which distro? Version? All aren't configured exactly the same.

Are there other files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ affecting graphics configuration? /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
The two files present seem related to the input devices (10-evdev.conf says it's a catchall loader for udev-based systems, and 20-synaptics controls the trackpoint/touchpad).
Did you try putting an xrandr script in an appropriate location for your distro in /etc/X11/?
Not yet, as I have not identified such locations.
There might be /etc/X11/xinit with xinitrc and xerverrc. However people seem to advocate ~/.xinitrc which, I guess, can only be read *after* login.
For the time being my scripts are in /usr/local/share but started by *.desktop files in ~/.config/autostart
Section "Monitor" Identifier "DefaultMonitor" HorizSync 28-85 VertRefresh 50-100 Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080" EndSection
Try above, after editing HorizSync and VertRefresh to match your display specs. If that doesn't help, try 2560x1440 or 2048x1152 instead of 1920x1080.
Mmh... In last resort. I don't élike playing with Sync and Refresh, only to get a bigger login. Seting auto-login wwould also be a solution on that machine.
Try disabling Plymouth. Add one of more of the following to your linu line in Grub:
noplymouth plymouth=0 plymouth.enable=0
If none work and your distro allows uninstalling plymouth, uninstall it.
Not starting plymouth did not let start X. Plymouth crashed because X was not running.
If still no joy, try a totally different approach, creating ~/.Xresources, or /etc/X11/Xresources, and appending to it:
Xft.dpi: 132 or Xft.dpi: 143
With this method, be sure your desktop settings fonts panel does not force a dpi.
If you try more than 143, you may get undesirable side-effects.
Thank you, I'll try that.
