KDE 4.3 resolution problem

C

calebstein

I recently upgraded my monitor. My old one had a native resolution of 1680x1050, and my new one has a native resolution of 1920x1080. KDE 4.3 worked fine on my old monitor, but on the new one, the login screen doesn't display correctly, and my taskbar only stretches across 1680 pixels. I already reconfigured X, and it didn't help. How can I fix these display issues?
 
Besides configuring X I'm sure KDE also has an settings applet to change the resolution. This is probably still set to your 'old' resolution.

System settings => Display
 
What happened was that KDE automatically switched to 1920x1080, but the taskbar was just incompatible with the resolution. I tried switching to 1680x1050 and 1680x1200, and they both looked really bad. Is there any way that I can install KDE 4.4 on FreeBSD?

Maybe end of the month will be in the ports...
 
try edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, then reboot.

put your desired resolution to replace the res in that file:

Code: 
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                [color="Red"]Modes "1920x1080"[/color]
        EndSubSection
EndSection
