Default Resolution keep changing in KDE!


Well this is matter, When I startup my system with Debian Lenny/KDE3.5 The resolution is set on 1280 x 1024. Too little for my monitor.

So I go configure Kdesktop section, display section and change it to 1024 x 768 which is the right one for me, and it world fine.

The only problem is that when I reboot the system it falls back to 1280 x 1024.

Is there anyway I can prevent this from happening? Thanks in advanced!

You must edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Post the section with the resolutions...that is if it is not obvious.

        Monitor         "COMPAQ S710"
        DefaultDepth    16
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           1
                Modes           "1280x1024" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           4
                Modes           "1280x1024" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           8
                Modes           "1280x1024" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           15

        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           24

Remove the "1280x1024" part including the quotes from the depth 16 Modes line.
