Where is the monitor resulation set?

[nilsA]

Yes, I know, the standard answer is - /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

But it's more to it.

This is the relevant part of my file:

Device"
	Identifier	"ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE]"
	Driver		"ati"
	BusID		"PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier	"Nokia 446Xpro"
	Option		"DPMS"
	HorizSync	30-94
	VertRefresh	50-75
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Default Screen"
	Device		"ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE]"
	Monitor		"Nokia 446Xpro"
	DefaultDepth	24
	SubSection "Display"
		Modes		"1600x1200"
	EndSubSection
EndSection

However - the log-in screen is set to 1024x768.
And, to make things ever worse - sometimes I log in to - 1024x768@60hZ

If I look in System settings - that's what it says.
However, if I open xorg.conf in Kate - it's like the above.

So, I reboot - and it's 1600x1200@75hZ.

Or, I log out and go to the command line ans startx from there: Back in 1600x1200@75hZ.

Where the *#"&%¤% is the 1024x768@60hZ taken from? It must be somewhere, because some programs, like Kaffeine, get the aspect ratio from that place.

check this out
you can safely remove that file, if that's what's causing the problem.

The settings in ~/.kde/share/config/displayconfigrc :

[General]
targetgamma=2.0

[Screen0]
bluegamma=1.0
dpmsEnabled=on
dpmsSeconds=2700
greengamma=1.0
height=1200
redgamma=1.0
reflectX=0
reflectY=0
refresh=75
rotate=0
width=1600

Seems correct?

Re: Where is the monitor resulation set?

you can remove ~/.kde/share/config/displayconfigrc.
it serves no purpose, other then overriding xorg.conf when you log into kde.
but i don't know where your problem is from.
sorry...

What happens look to me as sometimes the xorg.conf settings isn't found, and "standard monitor" settings - 1024x768"60 hZ is substituted.
