I'm researching now. Give me a few minutes and I'll see if I can't find an answer for you.

Best thing I can tell you to do is from the command line, issue the following commands:

cd /etc/X11/
pico XF86Config

Now, go down to the screens section and set your resolutions for each of the color depths. I can't find anything KDE specific. As close as I got was that the KDE configuration files are located in /opt/kde/share/config/. Hope this helps.

is there a way i can reinstall KDE? that should reset everything right?

It would be a pain in the ass for you to do that because KDE installs more than just one package, but several. You're better off just trying to edit your XF86Config file. You can, however, use Swaret to upgrade KDE if there is one. I don't know if it will override your previous settings, but you can try.
