I'm using bootable persistent USB key. I think there are some display problems, so I have to set resolution manually. These commands do it right:

sudo xrandr --newmode "1440x900_60.00"  106.50  1440 1528 1672 1904  900 903 909 934 -hsync +vsync
sudo xrandr --addmode VGA1 1440x900_60.00
sudo xrandr -s 1440x900

It would be great if I wouldn't need to manually run these every time my machine starts.

You can use a GUI frontend to Xrandr, for example ARandR.

ARandR is designed to provide a simple visual front end for XRandR. Relative monitor positions are shown graphically and can be changed in a drag-and-drop way.

Quoted From http://christian.amsuess.com/tools/arandr/:

Features: Saving configurations as executable shell scripts (configurations can be loaded without using this program)

enter image description here

After choosing your suitable configuration Then apply the new configuration by pressing Ctrl+Enter

To install it in Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install arandr

Now your configuration will be stored and loaded within the startup
