Some question about kde3.5, cant get higher refresh rate
i have a few questions so i wasnt sure where to put this. im a little bit of a linux n00b, but get most of the stuff. well lets see. i upgraded to kde 3.5 on my kubuntu install, and now in logout it only give me "end current session". no shutdown restart. another thing is, when i click on end current session it just shuts down x and im loged in console mode. i can type startx and get back to kde. some how it got changed and doesnt go to the login manager. and one other thing is the refresh rate. ive searched this site and others and they say put in the correct h and v refresh rates. but it does have the correct ones and it still doesnt let me go higher than 60hz. i have a brand new samsung syncmaster 930b with default 1280x1024 @ 75hz but i dunno why it wont go higher. if anyone can answer any of my question, thanks for your help.
yea, i did change kubuntu to log directly into my account, instead of gdm or cli, which ever it usues. but before i changed to kde 3.5 i could end current session go to the login in manager and restartx if i need to. mainly i just want the damn shutdown restart options back. and no i have an ati 9600 xt.
ive tried running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" command and setting up everything, but this has happen before and settings got set wrong. then when i restart theres and error and i cant startx, and i can only login in console mode. from console login how can i back up to the back up xorg.conf file?

i think the only difference is, im using the fglrx driver instead of just ati driver.
and lcd at lower refresh rates you dont really get the flickering but it does hurt my eyes if i look at it too long. now i just need to figure out how to get all the buttons on my logitech mx-518 mouse to work
I've got an mx518 and here are my conf. files, but I couldn't get all the buttons to work. It seems that you need to have something special compiled in the kernel to make it work, but when I bought the mouse I didn't want to recompile the kernel. I think it's evdev.
