Fedora KDE - Can't save Display Settings
I have just installed KDE 4.4 on Fedora 12 in addition to GNOME. The default Display resolution is the highest available. I changed it to a lower resolution. However, when I reboot, the resolution switches back to the default setting. Please help.

Setting a permanent display resolution ( as root ) :
Please open a terminal window and type : 1) su 2) system-config-display ... Your new settings will then be saved. ... |
Display settings not saved

bash system-config-display; command not found Please help |
May be not installed ?
# yum install system-config-display .. will provide /usr/bin/system-config-display .. |
KDE Display Resolution
Thanks I did that and now the settings are saved. However, the resolution of the Login Screen has also changed. This was not the case with GNOME. Please help.

Thanks for your help. However I find that the Refresh Rate gets set automatically at 75.1 Hz with the result that the scroll bar on the right side of a window goes slightly out of the screen. If I manually change it to 70 Hz, the screen is OK but I can't save it. Also Refresh Rate is not found in system-config-display.
Please help. |
It should be possible to change it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf .
Example ' Section "Monitor" ' : Code:
Section "Monitor" .. |
Thanks. But when I type /etc/X11/xorg.conf, I get Permission Denied even as Root. Please help

you need the - after su
su = root with user $PATH su - = root with root $PATH the two are VERY different on fedora |
The command can be : 1) su ( see post #10 John VV )
2) gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf ( You will get 'Permission denied' when you try to execute the text file with the command : /etc/X11/xorg.conf ) ... Or you can copy xorg.conf to /home/<username>/ Edit it, and : 1) su , 2) chown root:root xorg.conf 3) cp -a xorg.conf /etc/X11/ .. |
