setting kdm resolution

[gert cuykens]

My kdm resolution is not the same as my kde desktop resolution ? How can i set the kdm to 1280*1024@85 instead of *@87 what is not even in the x config list and out of the scoop of my monitor ?

Re: setting kdm resolution

Anyone know the awnser to this?

[Rog131]

Re: setting kdm resolution

Have you tried to reconfigure xserver:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

and when you come to:

If there are some resolutions you would not like the X server to use even if your hardware is capable of them, remove them from the list below. Removing all of them is effectively the same as removing none, since in both cases the X server will attempt to use the highest possible resolution.

Select the video modes you would like the X server to use.

Just choose 1280*1024

And ...

The "medium" option will present you with a list of resolutions and refresh rates, such as "800x600 @ 85Hz"; you should choose the best mode you wish to use (and that you know your monitor is capable of).

-> 1280*1024@85

Hope this helps.

Note
dpkg-reconfigure makes backupfile:

xorg.conf -> xorg.conf.20060724102828
(year month day hour minutes seconds)


so if something went wrong:

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx /etc/X11/xorg.conf
