Hello.

I am unable to have KDE come up with a different resolution than 1600x1200.
I had it set initially to that resolution and then changed it to 1024x768 on
the XF86config as shown below. Also below is kde kcontrolrc which also has
1600x1200 as its default.

1. Is the XF86config correct, and if so why does KDE insist in coming up at
1600x1200 ?. Should it pickup the new resolution from X.

Thanks,
Joe.
