    [Solved] Where are the display settings store on Kubuntu?

    What's the name of the file I'm looking for? Where does it live?

    I'm looking for this answer mainly because I noticed that my Kubuntu doesn't really remember what the previously selected refresh rate was and automatically chooses one that doesn't really suit my monitor... Whenever I open the Display settings window, it comes back to normal and stops flickering... I wish I could fix this...

    Thanks in advance.

    ~/.kde/share/config/systemsettingsrc contains the vertical and horizontal pixels on my system but does not contain the refresh rate, although this is specified in System Settings-> Dispaly.

      A little more looking and I found
      ~/.kde/share/config/krandrrc

        This is what I found in krandrrc (thanks mando for the tip!)
        Code:
        [Screen_0]
        OutputsUnified=false
        UnifiedRect=0,0,0,0
        UnifiedRotation=1
        
        [Screen_0_Output_default]
        Active=true
        Rect=0,0,1024,768
        RefreshRate=70
        Rotation=1
        If I'm right, it already knows that I like to use a refresh rate of 70... so why does it flicker until I open the Display settings window every single time I log into Kubuntu?

        Edit:

        I even modified it but the problem still persists... If I logout and log back in or I restart the PC and run Kubuntu, the screens flickers until I'm able to open the Display settings window...

        Code:
        [Screen_0]
        Active=true
        OutputsUnified=true
        UnifiedRect=0,0,1024,768
        UnifiedRefreshRate=70
        UnifiedRotation=1
        
        [Screen_0_Output_default]
        Active=false
        Rect=0,0,1024,768
        RefreshRate=70
        Rotation=1
        How can I make sure it uses the refresh rate I picked up from the very beginning (during the login and loading screens)?

          I kinda solved it, I guess...

          I had to edit xorg.conf and krandrrc to make sure it'd recognize my Display settings from the very beginning (during the login screen).
