How can I change monitor hardware in 8.04 (KDE4)

[cps22]

In Kubuntu 7.10 with KDE3 it was easy to choose alternate or generic video board or monitor settings from: system settings, monitor, enter admin mode, then choose hardware.

In Kubuntu 8.04 I don't see an option in system settings, monitor to enter admin mode. Has this been moved to some other utility? I scanned through these forums but haven't seen it mentioned.
Thanks in advance, CPS22

systemsettings in kde4 are not yet fully functional.

so either do:
alt||f2 or right click on desktop>run comand and give:

kdesudo /usr/lib/kde4/bin/systemsettings

or install kcontrol and run it as above with:

kcontrol

Conversely you can boot into recovery mode, drop to the root shell and do:

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

or in a terminal:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

and set you xorg.conf up according to your video card / monitor.
reboot.

I hope this gets you going.
