Startx low resolution problem

Question

I normally use a graphical login manager and when I log into dwm, there's no resolution problems. Although I want a little more customization with my session so I can have startup scripts and such, so I setup an xinitrc and ctrl+alt+F2, user, password, startx. From here I get everything I put in my xinitrc, but I do not get my correct monitor resolution (1920x1080). Is there any quick and easy fix to this?

If your display manager is running that resolution, every X session should start at that resolution too.
You should post your .xinitrc
How did you create your new user?
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi &
mpd &
#set wallpaper
feh --bg-tile ~/Downloads/up_feathers.png &
#set status
while true
do
xsetroot -name "♪ $(mpc | grep -) | $(date +%H:%M)"
sleep 60s
done &
#wm
exec dwm
# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
