In this chapter I will discuss the most common points in the initial setup of the system.
I have Ubuntu located on my home computer, so I'm not afraid that someone from my family will steal important data. My password is complicated enough so that my younger brother does not pick it up and break the system. Therefore, I decided to disable the login and password input window at boot.

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Generic Video Card"
Monitor "Acer AL1751"
Defaultdepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
And we add the necessary permission to the Modes parameter in accordance with the format.
