Dear Userland :-)
I don't use KDE, but resolutions can be changed by editing
/etc/X11/xorg.conf. Please, read its manpage or find a good
guide. I have this in my screen section:

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth    24
                Modes    "1280x1024"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

If anything goes wrong (or have already) you can look at
error messages in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
