Screen resolution..........

Hi All,
I updated Debian 8 and lost most of my screen resolution options. A fix is:

john@M:~$ xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048
2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync
john@M:~$ xrandr --addmode VGA1 1920x1080_60.00
john@M:~$ xrandr -s 1920x1080

But the setting only holds for the current session. A reboot causes the setting to be forgotten so need to be issued after each new start-up.
Does anyone know how I can make the command stick?????????????

@ Dave, Grr you are not allowed to use offensive (the W word) language.
