[Solved] Where is the screen resolution stored?

[doerings_net]

While fiddling with the settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf - to setup a dual monitor scenario on our IBM notebook via DVI-0 and VGA-0 while docked into the minidock - we screwed up something which is obviously not stored in the xorg.conf file itself.

To narrow the issue down, we are wondering where the screen resolution - via KDE system settings > monitor and display > screen resolution - is saved if not in xorg.conf.

As a user without superuser rights is able to change it, the standard file can't be the correct place.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Where is the screen resolution stored?

This is KDE 3.5 / KDE 4.0 ?


Here with the KDE 4.1 beta 1

~/.kde4/share/config/krandrrc has the resolution and the refresh etc. settings:

[Screen_0]
OutputsUnified=false
UnifiedRect=0,0,0,0
UnifiedRotation=1

[Screen_0_Output_default]
Active=true
Rect=0,0,1680,1050
RefreshRate=60
Rotation=1

System Settings is probably using krandrtray;

:~$ krandrtray --help
X Resize and Rotate System Tray App

Thanks for the details, Rog131.

Actually, it's KDE 3.5.9.
Unfortunately, there's neither a ~/.kde/share/config/krandrrc nor (obviously) a ~/.kde4/share/config/krandrrc

Should we keep looking for another config file in ~/.kde/share/config/ ?

Got it:

~/.kde/share/config/displayconfigrc

Thanks for the help.
