Screen Resolution Default

[Gameboyman99]

Hey guys, I got a question:

Anywhey, I got Kubuntu 10.10 on two desktops, but one has no problems with resolution(note: different monitors; obvious problem source), but the other does: It doesn't keep my resolution; ever. When I log out or restart, it's reset to too big(640x400). Almost too big to reset the res, but just barely not. I need my default res at 1024x768.

So how do I change the default to 1024x768?

I couldn't find a post like this anywhere, but if there is, then link it to me plz. Also, if the 'Change default' button or whatever is right in front of my face, tell me...
P.S. I don't really mind the terminal; don't think I don't know what I'm doing.

Hasta luego,

System>preferences>monitors

Set resolution click apply and make default.

Wait im not familiar with kubuntu but open the monitors app (im guessing you should have it anyway

if it doesn't show in the monitor section, you can force the resolution.

adding a modeline is best thing to do.

Press CTRL+ALT+F1
login
Run this

sudo killall gdm
sudo killall kdm
sudo X -configure
sudo gdm

login (again)

kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Ill make the mods for you. (Adding a 'Mode "horizontalxvertical"' should be sufficient in the current version of xorg)

xorg.conf is blank... nothing in it. BTW I don't have gedit, I have kate or notepad w/ Wine. And maybe I'm wrong but I think xorg.conf isn't used anymore...

fixed.
forgot the code tags so it looked like the only commands that were shown were gedit
